===United States=== The [[United States Army]] developed a lightweight antitank weapon (LAW) in the middle 1950s. By 1961, the [[M72 LAW]] was in use. It is a shoulder-fired, disposable rocket launcher with HEAT warhead. It is a recoilless weapon, which is easy to use, and effective against armored vehicles. It was used during the Vietnam War, and is still in use today. It uses a fin-stabilized rocket. In response to the threat of thicker armor, this weapon was replaced by the [[AT4]] recoilless gun, a larger & non-collapsible β albeit still single-shot weapon. The [[United States Army]] and [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] also use a different launcher, which is reloadable β the [[Carl Gustaf 8.4cm recoilless rifle#2011: M3 MAAWS|M3 Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-tank Weapon System]] (MAAWs) derived from the [[Carl Gustaf 8.4cm recoilless rifle|84mm Carl Gustav]] and the 83mm [[Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon]] (SMAW) derived from the Israeli B-300. Unlike the RPG, they are both reloaded from the breech-end rather than the muzzle. * [[Bazooka]] * [[M72 LAW]] * [[Carl Gustaf 8.4 cm recoilless rifle#2011 β M3 in USA (M3 MAAWS)|M3 Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-tank Weapon System (MAAWS)]] * [[Mk 153 Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW)]] * [[M141 Bunker Defeat Munition]] * [[PSRL-1]]<ref>{{cite web|title=AirTronic PSRL-1 (RPG-7USA) Anti-Armor / Anti-Personnel Shoulder-Fired Rocket Launcher |url=https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=1074 |access-date=November 27, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201040244/https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=1074|archive-date=December 1, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airtronic-usa.com/products/airtronic-rpg-7-usa/ |title=AirTronic USA β AirTronic PSRL-1 USA|access-date=November 27, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201034225/http://www.airtronic-usa.com/products/airtronic-rpg-7-usa/|archive-date=December 1, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.airtronic-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/psrl-1.pdf |title=AirTronic Precision Shoulder-Fired Rocket Launcher (PSRL-1) |access-date=November 27, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712224734/http://www.airtronic-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/psrl-1.pdf |archive-date=July 12, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>
