OVERVIEW: Unguided anti-tank weapons such as the AT4, RPG, and Carl Gustav are shoulder-fired, portable launchers designed to defeat armored vehicles, bunkers, and fortifications.

DETAILS: These weapons operate by firing a rocket or recoilless projectile without guidance systems, relying on operator aiming and direct line of sight to engage targets. Their simplicity, light weight, and ease of use make them effective for infantry in close to medium-range combat, particularly in urban or guerrilla warfare settings. While lacking precision guidance, these systems offer rapid deployment and lethal effects against light to medium armor and fortified positions.
