This video delves into the PIAT (Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank), a unique British anti-tank weapon developed during World War Two as a successor to the obsolete Boys anti-tank rifle. It explains the PIAT's spigot mortar design, firing a heavy hollow-charge projectile capable of defeating most wartime armor. The description highlights its challenging cocking mechanism, harsh recoil, and notable lack of flash or backblast compared to contemporaries like the Bazooka. The video also mentions the PIAT's impressive production numbers and its service life extending into the 1950s.
