Report To Army Finds Blast From Some Weapons May Put Shooter's Brain At Risk

May 8, 2018

Military personnel may be endangering their own brains when they operate certain shoulder-fired weapons, according to an Army-commissioned report released Monday.

The report, from the Center for a New American Security, says these bazooka-like weapons pose a hazard because they are powered by an explosion just inches from the operator's head.
