#antitankthursday: M136 AT4. The AT4 is a disposable, unguided, shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon designed in Sweden and introduced in 1987. It was designed to give dismounted units a system capable of engaging vehicles that could then be discarded.

While not as effective as anti-tank guided missiles, the AT4 is less expensive and simpler to train on. In fact, all the instructions for the single-shot launcher are written on the side!

Unlike the World War II American Bazooka it resembles, the AT4 does not fire a rocket but an explosive charge that fires the high-explosive anti-tank projectile while a second charge blasts to the rear to negate recoil, similar to a recoilless rifle.
