The M72 LAW and the RPG-7 are the iconic rocket-powered anti-tank weapons of the post-WW2 era; both are still in use to this day in conflicts around the world. This book examines each in detail using a variety of historical documents, both operator manuals and technical briefings developed originally by the US Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). Topics for the M72 covered are basic function and specifications, firing preparation, back blast awareness, firing positions and aiming/firing steps, plus failure to fire procedures. The RPG-7 information extensively covers component and function descriptions, weapon capabilities, optical sight details, Hit/kill probabilities, Soviet deploment doctrine, specific counter-measures and more. Well illustrated with over 70 images and diagrams. An in-depth review of each weapon system that will please any student of military studies.

Most belligerents entering World War II armed their infantry with bulky and ineffectual anti-tank rifles as their primary means of combating tanks. US planners realized that what infantrymen needed was a relatively lightweight, man-portable anti-tank weapon that was simple to operate, accurate, and capable of knocking out the average tank at a reasonable range, while also being effective against fortified buildings, pillboxes, and personnel in the open. The bazooka combined a revolutionary new anti-tank rifle-grenade warhead, a much-modified British anti-aircraft rocket motor, and a cobbled-together launcher tube and electrical firing system; its first test-firing astounded observers, and it was immediately adopted by the US armed forces. Featuring specially drawn colour artwork, this engaging study tells the story of the bazooka, which set the standard for future light anti-tank weapons and their ammunition, and was a key influence on anti-tank tactics and techniques in the post-war era.
