Different approaches to this goal would lead to the anti-tank spigot mortar, the recoilless rifle, and, from the development of practical rocketry, the rocket propelled grenade. Research occasioned by World War II produced such weapons as the American bazooka , British/Allied PIAT and German Panzerfaust , which combined portability with ...
A 22 mm (0.87 in) grenade can range from powerful anti-tank rounds such as the M9 rifle grenade, to simple finned tubes with a fragmentation hand grenade attached to the end such as the M1 grenade adapter. The "22 mm (0.87 in)" refers to the diameter of the base tube which fits over the spigot of the launcher, not the diameter of the warhead ...
The PG-29V anti-tank/bunker round has a tandem-charge high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead to defeat explosive reactive armor (ERA). This warhead is standardized with that of the PG-7VR round fired by the RPG-7V rocket launcher. [8] With a tandem-charge, an initial small charge detonates any reactive armor.

[citation needed] The Russian Ministry of Defense said in December 2023 that it has modified the RPG-7V grenade launcher in order to shoot 82-mm mines. [10] Current production ammunition for the RPG-7V2 consists of four main types: PG-7VL [c.1977] – improved 93 mm (3.7 in) HEAT warhead effective against most vehicles and fortified targets. [7]
Man-portable anti-tank systems (MANPATS or MPATS) are traditionally portable shoulder-launched projectile systems firing heavy shell-type projectiles (although throwing and lunge weapons have existed), typically designed to combat protected targets, such as armoured vehicles, field fortifications and at times even low-flying aircraft (especially helicopters).
