#2 Should be an easy confirmation, either they work or don't.
Look for abandoned stingers, or abandoned empty launch tubes.

It is a remarkably easy thing for someone with access to a WalMart to build a very good dummy Stinger launcher. (I know, I've done it, and was nearly court-martialed for it, but that's another story) Just imagine what kind of fakes - with booby traps - a government could build and then salt in the bad guyz' territory.
