Stop That Tank! Disney's WW II Boys ATR training film


Recommended Posts

Did you see the recoil? Bet that thing kicked like a mule.

Just as well it had a 'recoil reducer' thingie (in pt 2)

Edit to add: in part 4 you get a full explanation of recoil reduction - there's a spring in the stock as well. Interesting!

Well if it's a choice of that or nothing then I guess it is better than nothing. The PIAT is just at prototype stages but not in service yet. There have been some fascinating discussions on Russian ATR tactics and they kept 'em right till the end.
