LAW

The Light Anti-Tank Weapon (LAW) is a heavy skill weapon in Deus Ex. The LAW is a single-use rocket launcher that inflicts very high damage over a large area. As a single-use weapon, the LAW is automatically disposed of from the inventory after it is fired.

Overview
With a base damage of 1000, the LAW can destroy any target in a single hit (regardless of skill level), including Page Delta-2 Peacebringe military bots, Chiang Arcbot Model 5 large spider bots, turrets, and doors without infinite strength. The LAW also has a large blast radius, four times that of the GEP gun's normal rocket. The combination of high damage and large blast radius makes the LAW suitable for eliminating large groups of tough enemies. The LAW's large blast radius may result in damage to the player if fired at a target that is too close.

In general, the LAW can be used as a more powerful, single-shot variant of the GEP gun. However, the LAW requires four inventory squares to store a single shot, since multiple LAWs do not stack in the inventory. Like all heavy weapons, movement speed is reduced to walking pace unless the heavy skill is at advanced or higher.
