AT4

Armored Vehicles

The AT4 is a Swedish 84 millimeter unguided, man-portable, disposable anti-tank weapon manufactured by Saab Bofors Dynamics. It is fired from the shoulder and, because its warhead is not propelled by a rocket motor, is technically a smooth-bore recoilless gun rather than a true rocket launcher. Saab has sold the AT4 widely, making it one of the most common light anti-tank weapons in the world. The United States Army fields it under the designations M136 AT4 and M136A1 AT4CS-RS.
