Austria – known as PAR 70 (Panzerabwehrrohr 70). Finland – known as 74 KES 68 Miniman (74 millimetrin kertasinko malli 1968 Miniman, '74 millimetre disposable recoilless rifle model 1968 Miniman'). Sweden – known as Pskott m/68 (Pansarskott modell 1968), replaced by the m/86.
Description
The Miniman is delivered with the HEAT projectile pre-loaded launch tube. In appearance, the Miniman is similar to a single section tube US M72 LAW and French Sarpac of the same era. In 1986 the Swedish Army adopted the FFV AT4, designated the Pansarskott m/86, to replace the Miniman. FFV engineers adopted the rugged but simple firing and safety mechanism of the Miniman for the AT4. The Miniman uses a unique version of the high–low chamber launch system that results in no recoil. Moving targets can be attacked at a range of 150 m (490 ft) while stationary targets may be engaged out to 250 metres (820 ft). The Miniman's HEAT projectile has a copper liner and can penetrate 340 mm (13 in) of rolled homogeneous armour.
