Anyways, a friend of mine that was in the Marines once told me they aren't that hard to aim or shoot.

It's faked. There are serious visual discreptancies between the angles they show, and the warhead supposedly launched. The cartridge he shows us is not the rocket assisted HEAT shell. But, on the shot where he's in frame and the shell is streaking towards the car, there's a rocket motor glow coming from the shell's base and a distinct black plume following the shell. That shouldn't be there. The trajectory that the rocket takes is also impossible, it curves to follow where Clarkson points the muzzle of the Gustav. Finally, the black plume can also be seen in the second camera angle. But, in the third and fourth camera angle, the smoke plume disappears...
Also check out the GPMG he's using. Cartridges and links come in, only links come out. No brass comes out. As that's not an HK G11, a gyrojet gun, muzzle loader, or a paper cartridge gun, brass should be leaving the ejection port of the gun at a fairly fast clip. It ain't.
The part with the SPAS is probably also fake. I know the SPAS is heavy and that trap loads are light recoiling, but you're going to see more recoil than that shooting from the hip. He seems to just be jerking the shotgun up and down to simulate recoil.

Anti-tank rockets, however, are a bit different... I think.

Milkpowder lives in England/HK. MGs are illegal there along with most other guns.
As for antitank rockets, if you can find someone who'll sell one to you (the hard part), pay the $200 destructive device tax per rocket, and have a place to store it (another hard one), you're good to go. There are a few destructive device fanatics in the US. All of them have tons of land, lots of disposable income, and nothing better to do. (Not that that's a bad thing, but DDs are the kinds of things where accidents turn into funerals.)
