In the 1974-75, I carried the M67 Recoilless Rifle. A great AT weapon, much longer and heavier. Pretty much the same function. For field training we carried a sub caliber ‘round’ that fired the 7.62 NATO round. Blanks for training and tracers on the range It weighs about 46 pounds loaded and was supposed to be able to penetrate 350mm of armor. It was about 53 or so inches in length. It is amazing what a guy remember after almost 50 years 🤓🇺🇸
