Anyone recognize this bazooka?

[Dario D.]

Can someone identify this bazooka?

I would like to know what model it is, or what it's called, so I can research it a little more.

I have no idea, and I've never seen one of these before. Maybe they modded it or something.

Ah, cool, thanks Rakurai :thumbs:

Just what I needed to know.

By the way, does it look like they added something onto it to you?
Looks like an added scope, and maybe something in the front.

These here look a little different, as far as I can tell. Maybe it's just the angle.

The ones in the original picture quite distinctly have an extra bulge in the front, unless that's just the missile. (the one in the background lying down)

Eh, the one my friend was assigned to before he took over as the squad's SAW gunner looked like the one in your picture (as do all Google search images of it.) If anything it's just a different sight, which wouldn't make too too much of a difference as it's fire and forget.. to an extent.

Actually its not. Its from "Worms Reinforcements." And you call yourself a gamer..

It isn't a Bazooka, it is a missile launcher. Bazooka was the name for the American anti-tank rocket launcher during World War 2, rockets being unguided and missiles being guided. As the Javelin is a guided system, it is a missile and not a rocket.

You are quite right. Bazooka was the Allies version of the rocket launcher. As for the Panzerfaust being the germans rocket launcher, and you'll find a few similarities between germanies rocket launcher to the Russians take on it, called the RPG (which is used widely now throughout the middle east after the cold war)

Well, the Germans had 2 versions, the Panzerfaust and the Panzershrek. One was a rocket launcher that required 2 people to operate, one aimed it whilst another loaded the rockets in from the back - took more resources to build and required 2 people to operate. The other was a much simpler version that could only be fired once but only took one person to operate it and was very cheap to make. Not sure which ones were which.

The American's had their Bazooka which was a multi use anti tank rocket launcher and the British had like an underarmed version of the Bazooka which i can't quite remember the name of.

edit: Britain used the Piat gun.

Doesnt sound like an ideal Bazooka name :|
P.I.A.T?

 

[Ames]

Use the PIAT!!!

 

[Vegeta897]

The panzerfaust was a singleshot RPG. It had no recoil, yet had a huge blast of fire out the back. You didn't load it, it was just a pipe (with gunpowder) with the grenade at the end. You disposed of the weapon after you used it.

The panzershrek was just like any other rocket launcher. Load and shoot.

Thankyou years of playing ww2 games

I believe MOHAA : BT has a PIAT

Projector Infantry Anti Tank gun.

Haha. I loved spamming that voice over and over to annoy the shit outa people!

 

[Jimmeh]

Yeah the PIAT was pretty pants though, due to the projectile being propelled by a spring :|

Anyone here about the British soldier who got the Victoria cross? He took out 5 or so tanks in one day, holding mortars and PIATs from the hip, propeh Rambo stylee :O

Only that it was at Arnham bridge and that he did it whilst injured.
