Carl G M2/3/4 84 MM recoiless followed by the M72 series. Sooo nice. Saaaaaaay, I've been following your form 1 re-activation, was yours one of the deacts up for sale at Numrich/gunparts corp? View Quote |

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. View Quote If I was rich as all get go? M3 90mm towed AT gun... |

Davy Crockett count? I'm a little iffy on aiming AT weapons and I'd really rather not get too close to an enemy tank.

Quoted: Whoa brother. You really just dated yourself. View Quote 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. |

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. http://smhs.com.dinstudio.se/files/IMG_8808.JPG 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--

Yes, but finding someone to do the welding (and keeping it Form 1 legal) has been a huge pain in the ass. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

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. |

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. 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.... |

It's cool that they included the cut out side of the tube with it. You might be costing me some money! View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The cut out piece of the tube was not included with either of the demilked ones I bought. The guy that did the welding for me had to machine a whole new part (curved and tapered) to fit in the cut-out hole in the tube. Fortunately, I didn’t have to be there for the machining, just the welding. |

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.
Fond memory... |

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. View Quote |
