Other

M72 LAW

Momo provides two M72 LAWs for Hubert, telling him they are "heat-seeking rocket launcher[s]... 400 grams each... I got two". Although never seen, Momo also claims to have obtained a "miniature bazooka made in Korea" that "stops a tank at 100 meters". Of note is that the movie's English subtitles read "anti-personnel bazooka" that can "stop a tank", which is pretty much paradoxical, since anti-personnel weapons aren't very suited for anti-materiel purposes...

M72A2 LAW - 66mm

Two suitcases full of weapons provided by Momo for Hubert. The LAWs are in the closest suitcase. The one on top appears to be mocked up with a pistol grip.
