 Recoilless rifle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The first recoilless rifle to enter service was the Panzerabwehrwerfer 7,5 (or PAW), a 75 mm gun developed to give German airborne troops some useful anti-tank support before the Panzerfaust became widespread.
Lightweight 73 mm recoilless rifles are still in service in the Russian army in airborne units, and Soviet B10 82 mm heavy recoilless rifles are found quite commonly around the world in the inventories of former Soviet client states, where it is usually used as an antitank gun.
Perhaps the oddest adaptation of a recoilless rocket was the Davy Crockett, which used a recoilless rifle to launch a tactical nuclear warhead, deployed (but of course never used) by the United States in the 1960's.

 Note
The combination M16A1 automatic rifle and M203 (a version of the M79) grenade launcher was produced to avoid the problem of a Grenadier having to carry a grenade launcher as well as a weapon for personal protection and hence allowing him to also function as a rifleman.
Stabilized in flight by the spin imparted on it by the rifled barrel the grenade rotated at 3,700rpm, this in turn, after approximately 15 meters of flight, armed the grenade.
It was then swung closed and when the rifle was fired, the rear end of the shell case broke up and was blown out of the back of the breech block.
