First I never said anywhere anytime anything about the FN6 this is the HJ8 thread. Second every system fails from time to time. Even the lauded AKM jams on occasion. Third these videos are propaganda shot at close hand if a system like a agtm fails the fail could be deadly. In other words big boom go boom. Any video damaged any shooter killed. IE the video lost the story never told. If it just goes click. The enemy suddenly has a exposed target.

The missile may not explode but land a short distance in front of the shooter as happened to Javelins.

Hi Wolf,

Don't be so defensive about the quality of the FN-6. Your product isn't bad because of one person says that it's bad. At least, they've not shown any fail launch yet. All launches shown so far are successful and hit their targets. Sometime, I even doubt that it's the rebels or the media who said that FN-6 is bad in quality.

Exactly, it could be mainly media propaganda if failures are few and let's not forget the media are wont to misquote. The NYTimes had to apologize to tennis player Li Na for erroneously reporting her as saying she was asked by her organization to take drugs.
