It’s not often that a military advertises a weapon on what it doesn’t
 do, but at the Africa Aerospace and Defence exposition in Pretoria, 
South Africa, that’s exactly what Chinese arms manufacturer Poly 
Technologies did. The “Shoulder-Launched Rocket with Low Collateral 
Damage” is a weapon designed to give troops all the utility of a 
wall-piercing explosion, with a lot less of the accidental casualty 
downside.<br />
As advertised, the weapon creates openings for troops to
 walk through in doors, walls, bunkers, and other sturdy positions, but 
the blast wave from the rocket is limited to 23 feet, limiting the 
number of people who are badly hurt when the weapon is fired. It’s an 
improvement on the DZJ08 design, which is a similar shoulder-mounted 
rocket launcher, made for fighting in cities,
 that lacks the collateral-damage reduction. In addition to punching 
holes in buildings, the weapon is reportedly useful against light 
vehicles.<br />
This rocket launcher is still explicitly a lethal 
weapon, but marketing it as low-collateral damage shows an understanding
 of urban combat, as well as concern for the innocents that may find 
themselves in city battlefields. In a similar vein, the U.S. Office of 
Naval Research is developing non-lethal and less-lethal weapons for Marines<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">, after the experience of urban combat in Fallujah taught them that sometimes, a less-deadly weapon is better.</span><br />
