Notes | The bazooka merged a recoilless rocket with the shaped charge thus resulting in a light man packed anti-tank weapon. The bazooka provided the U.S. Infantry with a close support weapon which had the capability to knock out not only AFVs but bunkers and pillboxes too, the main difference between the M1 & M1A1 was the grip stocks. |
