	Bazooka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bazooka weapon was one of the initial anti-tank weapons based on the High Explosive Anti-tank (HEAT) shell to enter service, used by the United States Armed Forces in World War II and the Korean War.
		The main drawback to the weapon was the large backblast and smoke trail which gave away the position of the shooter—compare to the British PIAT.
		The M20 was in turn supplanted by the LAW (Light anti-tank weapon) in the opening stages of the Vietnam War.

	German Antitank Weapons, WWII U.S. Intelligence Bulletin, November 1944 (Lone Sentry)
		German antitank weapons are divided into several classes. The main class comprises guns built specifically for antitank missions and falls into three groups—guns of conventional German design, guns built with tapered-bore tubes, and captured antitank weapons.
		Since many antitank guns of obsolete models still are in service, the Germans have introduced the stick bomb, another development of the hollow charge, in an effort to make the most of such equipment.
		Readers also are familiar with such weapons as the antitank hollow-charge grenade which can be launched from the standard rifle, and with the signal pistol fitted to fire hollow charges.

	Threat Assessment
		These attacks are executed using military or improvised direct and indirect fire weapons, such as antitank weapons and mortars.
		For example, the direct fire antitank weapons most often used by terrorists are the Soviet, rocket-propelled grenade RPG-7 and the US light antitank weapon (LAW).
		These weapons increase the terrorist's ability to penetrate and damage a facility and to kill or injure people.

		This is a superb anti-personnel weapon because of its high dispersal of shrapnel.
		A weapon of fear, this flamethrower uses a special mix of petroleum jelly and napalm to burn the victim long after the user has moved on.
		However, it also makes a great antipersonnel weapon when fired at the feet of a group to incur "splash damage." Do not use in close quarters unless you have a death wish.

	M-72 Light Anti-tank Weapon (LAW)
		Prior to the fielding of the AT-4 the M-72 Light Anti-tank Weapon (LAW) was the Army's primary shoulder-fired, man-portable, light anti-tank rocket.
		The detent lever assembly moves under the trigger assembly in the outer tube, locking the inner tube in the extended position and cocking the weapon.
		Although the M72-series LAW is mainly used as an antiarmor weapon, it may be used with limited success against secondary targets such as gun emplacements, pillboxes, buildings, or light vehicles.

		This weapon will 'kick' a bit, meaning that it will require a little time to re-center to where the player was aiming.
		If the player fires in quick, rapid succession, the weapon won't have the proper time to re-center its self, therefore simulating the effects of rapid fire that the player can learn to adjust for, and make it seem more life-like.
		Both versions were widely used; the BAR was a popular weapon in all theaters because it was reliable and offered an excellent combination of rapid fire and penetrating power.

		Before use the weapon had to be made ready for use by adding primer and fuse to projectile, in explosion the explosion gasses came out from other end of the tube making the weapon recoilless.
		The weapon was usually fired by pointing it from under shooters armpit or from top of the shoulder, but demanded caution as the backblast and flame coming from end of the tube was lethal up to 2 - 3 meter distance.
		Weapons repair companies and troops were to paint the ones they already had and the ones delivered after this were to be painted before issuing.

		The Viper was man-portable unguided line-of-sight antitank 70 mm rocket developed as a successor to the U.S. Army's 66 mm M72 LAW (Lightweight Antitank Weapon) system.
		The allocation of an MDS rocket designator to this weapon is remarkable, because such nomenclature is usually not assigned to unguided line-of-sight rockets.
		The weapon reportedly was much more expensive than originally expected, and also had some safety (sensitivity to static electricity) and performance problems.

	Modern Firearms - AT4 / M136 antitank grenade launcher
		The AT4 recoilless antitank weapon is a joint effort of the Saab Bofors Dynamics AB (Sweden) and ATK Inc (USA).
		The AT4 is a typical recoilless weapon, which uses a charge of propellant (gun powder), located inside the open barrel.
		When weapon is fired, the gas pressure pushes the projectile (fin-stabilized warhead) out of the barrel, while the backblast from the rear part of the open barrel counters any recoil.

	Perfect Solution to balanceing the antitank issue in FH - FileFront Gaming Forums
		Here's the thing panzerfaust was a very potent antitank weapon at the germans disposal in ww2 and fh is being realistic in potraying it as such.
		Have the panzerfaust set so it cannot be reloaded, so therefore when a german antitank soldier spawns he has 1 panzerfaust and he cannot reload it anywhere only way to get another is to die and spawn with yet another anti tank soldier.
		Another issue is the fact that germans get a rifle with there antitank kit which stilll make's sense considering in ww2 panzerfasut were much easier to carry around and every soldier could still carry a standard issue K98 with one.
