Army Weapons - 84 mm Anti-Tank Gun
The 84 mm anti-tank gun is a breach loaded and percussion fired weapon. There is no recoil as pressure is not built up in the barrel, but escapes backwards through the venturi. The gun can be fired in all positions; sitting, kneeling, standing, and prone.
A gun mount housed in the shoulder butt supports the gun in the lying position and it can be used as a stabilser against the chest in all other position and it can be used as a stabiliser against the chest in all other positions. Because the gun is recoilles, it is much lighter than a weapon with a conventional breech.
