Book excerpt: This U.S. Army field manual (FM 3-23.25) provides information about light antiarmor weapons which are used against light armored vehicles, field fortifications, or other similar targets. These weapons are issued as rounds of ammunition to individual soldiers in addition to their assigned weapons and the unit's organic antiarmor weapons. Light antiarmor weapons can withstand extreme weather and environmental conditions, including arctic, tropical, and desert. The light antiarmor weapons category includes both light antiarmor and light antitank weapons. Topics include operation and function, care and handling, destruction and decontamination procedures, operating temperatures, and much more. Types of light antiarmor weapons include the M72-series light antitank weapon (LAW) and the M136 AT4. The M72-series LAW was designed in the early 1960's for use against light tanks of that era. The M136 AT4 was designed in the late 1980's for use against the improved armor of light armored vehicles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AT-4 is a man-portable, 84-mm antiarmor weapon designed by the FFV Co. of Sweden who is represented in the United States by Honeywell Corp. This AT-4 evaluation was conducted in two parts. The first part addressed its durability, ruggedness, and compatibility with the marine rifleman's fighting load. This took place on the USAHEL (US Army Human Engineering Laboratory) cross-country and mobility/portability course. The second part examines the time it took marines to prepare the weapon for firing, and the frequency and type of errors they made during the preparation. Recommendations are made to improve the ruggedness, durability, and operational suitability of the AT-4. The AT-4 was found to be a rugged weapon that is fast and easy to prepare for firing. It was enthusiastically endorsed by the Marine test participants even though it is significantly larger and heavier than the lightweight antiarmor weapon (M72A1) with which they were familiar. Originator-supplied keywords include: Antitank weapons, Recoilless rifle, and Infantry weapons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitler’s Wehrmacht and SS units will be remembered for their aggressive ‘Blitzkrieg’ tactics. But, as the war progressed, the Germans, recognizing the offensive capability of armored warfare, developed an impressive range of anti-tank warfare weaponry and munitions. Using many rare unpublished images this Images of War book covers the full Nazi anti-armor capability from the 3.7cm Pak 35, 5cm Pak 38 and 7.5cm Pak 40 to the versatile 8.8cm Flak feared by the Allies. Also featured are the half-tracks and converted Panzers that pulled or mounted these weapons and carried forward observers and reconnaissance elements. Later hand-held anti-tank weapons came into service and were effective and economic against Allied armor. The Panzerfaust, with its shaped charge warhead, became the first disposable anti-tank weapon in history. This comprehensive book shows this formidable range of weapons in action from Poland in 1939, through North Africa and the Eastern Front to the final collapse in 1945.

Download or read book The Rocket Propelled Grenade written by Gordon L. Rottman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive illustrated study of the RPG The RPG-series of weapons is the most widely used family of lightweight antitank weapons in the world today. RPGs have been used not only against their intended targets, but against personnel, fortifications, buildings, soft-skin vehicles, watercraft, and aircraft. Lightweight, relatively compact, easy to operate and maintain, they meet most of the requirements of any armed group. Like any weapon system, RPGs and their ammunition have their limitations. While these limitations are much touted by proponents of more advanced weapons, they lose sight of many armed groups' requirement for lightweight, compact, inexpensive, easy to operate and maintain weapons. Most sophisticated weapons tend to be just the opposite – heavy, cumbersome, excessively expensive, and requiring extensive training and an advanced support infrastructure. They are also more difficult to obtain due to export controls and restrictions. To be effective, an army actually needs a mix of both sophisticated and uncomplicated weapons. Gordon Rottman provides a detailed analysis, accompanied by photographs and full colour artwork, of perhaps one of the most important weapons to be developed in the 20th century.
