Direct fire using eyeballs and sights only (will accept optics as long as glass only; no targeting or tracking tech).

Will also allow for mines, command detonated or switch/lever engaged.

Mine? (get it?)

Panzerfaust.

For what it was, huge impact on the battlefield.

Carl G 84mm for myself.  I will own one soon as I work out ammo issues...amazing multi purpose weapon system.  It is the Ma Deuce of the anti armor world as far as longevity goes.

If I was rich as all get go?

M3 90mm towed AT gun...

Kind of unique in that a live one doesn't actually have to be registered as a Destructive Device since it uses a spring as the firing mechanism.

Didn't we buy back a few from someplace like Turkey or South Korea and send them to Afganistan a few years back? South Korea, Norway, Switzerland, and Taiwan still make ammo for it.

Supposedly ours had to be removed because the bakelite that covered the perforations in the cartridge cases deteriorated when they were not kept in temperature/humidity controlled storeage. Kind of suspicious since there were so many people to buy new ammo from off the shelf.  And a lot of the new ammo was better.

112 is the best mm.






This thing is a monster compared to most portable AT weapons and while it's classified as a recoilless rifle, recoilless it ain't. Hold it poorly and you get a broken nose and get knocked off your feet. Training tubes made from live shot rounds often have dried blood inside the face shield.

Anyone who has actually shot a live round (not a training rocket) out of one is considered kind of a big deal even if ranked a jäger.

At 720 mm RHAe penetration the single stage HEAT round with a 5 lbs charge of RDX is comparable to AT missiles, as well as earlier tank cannon KE rounds (better than M829A1 for example).

Besides the obvious (i.e. CG) I'd have to go with Stridsvagnsmina 6. As I did my basic as an Army engineer I have a particular fondness for it.



It can take out any MBT in the World, and it has lots of options when it comes to fuzes and booby traps.

Modern day weapon...I'd want to buddy up with Carl.

Old school-The Polish Wz 35. It fires a 225 grain 8mm bullet at 4180 fps and muzzle energy equal to the .460 Weatherby.

It didn't use a hardened penetrator, instead it used a standard lead core and relied on the squash-head principle so beloved by the Brits.

If we can use vehicles, I'll take an M50 ONTOS-- six 106mm recoilless rifles-- probably not so effective against modern armor, but a serious kick for me and my pals to run-- also they have a low weight-to-square-foot ratio, in Vietnam they just scooted through the rice paddies when almost anything else would get stuck, and I bet they'd perform well in sand, allowing for upgraded engine aspiration-- an absolute hellraiser crossed with a fireworks show--

AT 4 seemed cool, LAW looks like a lighter version of it.

TBH As airborne it always bothered me that we didn't have a good go-to for MBT's other than a Javelin.

Please explain.  It was thought to cause spalling inside the crew compartment would be my guess?

AT 4 seems cool.  Until you realize that if you carry the tube, you might as well carry the weapon and however many rounds you think you need.  Instead of carrying multiple tubes.

Aye, it did...it would cause a roughly 20mm flake of steel to spall off the inside of the crew compartment, bouncing around and hopefully injuring crewmen.

It would defeat 33mm of RHA at 100 meters, 15 mm at 300 meters and it was effective against slightly angled armor as well, but of course armor development quickly made it obsolete.

Barrel life was approximately 300 rounds, more than sufficient for a battlefield weapon.

Still, it was an interesting early-war solution and actually performed fairly well against thin-skinned vehicles.

Something I was gonna ask the 11B types here.

Did any of you guys ever fire an M-72 at a hard target and see it "Bounce OFF!?"  I jut finished reading "38 North Yankee" for about
the forth time in the last 25+ years and it seemed (M72's bouncing off T-55's) to be sort'a bullshit.  Not that a 66mm HEAT round was
all that and a bag of chips but....

My favorite is the SMAW-D. I don’t know how effective it is against armor, but it punched right through the wall of our TOC when one of the LTs accidentally fired it.

I’m old skool 11boo.  We had 90mm RR, and that thing kicked ass. Unless you had to carry it.

Then we transitioned to the M72.  Half the power, fraction of the weight.

Still preferred the 90mm.

The 90mm is remarkably similar in performance to the 84mm CG.  It is a heavy bitch though.

We did indeed send a bunch to US troops in Afghanistan.

I had not heard that we bought them back from overseas allies, but it's possible.
