Description

The M20 "Super Bazooka" gave the foot soldier a portable anti-tank weapon, as well as a super bunker-clearer. Weighing only 12 pounds, it fired a shaped charge which concentrated the rocket's energy in a small area, and was effective against up to eleven inches of armor at a range of almost 900 yards. In Korea, that was worth taking to the dance.

The 3.5-inch "Super Bazooka" rocket launcher , introduced in early 1950, was able to penetrate any armored vehicle from greater distance with improved accuracy than the 2.36-inch WWII bazooka. The M20 was a two-piece, smooth-bore weapon weighing only 12 pounds with an assembled length of 60 inches, easily transportable, and fired a "shaped charge" that concentrated the force of the explosion on a very small area, thus allowing the projectile to penetrate armor plate as thick as 11 inches. The gunsight was unique and allowed for various ranges and speeds to give an accuracy up to 900 yards.

This weapon eats T34's for breakfast.
