This video details the development and features of the German Panzerschreck antitank weapon, a direct response to the American Bazooka encountered in 1943. It highlights the Panzerschreck's lineage from the Raketenwerfer 43 "Puppchen," its use of an 88mm shaped charge warhead, and its innovative electrical firing system generated by a small dynamo. The description also addresses a key design flaw: the rocket motor's continued firing outside the tube, leading to burns and the subsequent development of protective shields for the shooter.
This video delves into the history and specifications of the M20A1B1 Super Bazooka, a significant infantry antitank weapon developed by the US. The description highlights its introduction after World War II, its superior armor penetration capabilities compared to its predecessor (the M1 Bazooka), its service in the Korean War, and its eventual replacement. The video details its weight, rocket weight, and the era it served as the primary US infantry antitank weapon.
This video provides a detailed look at the RPG-7, a Soviet-designed rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Despite its widespread use, especially in third-world conflict zones, the video highlights a rare live and registered example in the US, owned by Movie Gun Services. It delves into the weapon's philosophical origins from the German WWII Panzerfaust and its mechanical development. The RPG-7's effectiveness, simplicity, and affordability are emphasized, along with its evolution from a dedicated anti-tank weapon to a versatile system used against personnel and aircraft. The video includes a demonstration shot.
This video documents the user's first experience firing an L39 Lahti 20mm antitank gun. The demonstration focuses on single-shot operation with the gas system turned off. The description highlights the gun's significant recoil, comparing it to a mule and noting how its skis cause it to slide back with the shooter. A comparison is also made to the Solothurn S18/1000, which is described as a nicer but more expensive alternative.
