One of the great fallacies of WWII - "...PIAT fires with a spring..." !!

I would refer you to any reasonable reference on how the Projector, Infantry Anti-Tank actually works.

They can be fired in/from a building but they have the same amount of noise on firing as a "twelve-bore" shotgun (I wonder why ;) ?)

Um... a "fallacy" is a conclusion arrived at from an illogical and disconnected set of facts, say for example, "The Nazis were German, therefore all Germans are Nazis."

I think that you meant "misconception." :rolleyes:

I am curious, though, about the PIAT mechanism, as I've also been under this misconception. Just how was it propelled?
