60 mm rocket launcher AT M1
60 mm rocket
60 mm anti-tank rocket launcher
Proving grounds trials showed unsatisfactory results, specifically:
- Low muzzle velocity (89 m/s).
- Complex rocket design and sensitive detonator.
- Unreliable function of the launcher at temperatures less than 10 degrees Celsius.
- Fire is ineffective at a range of over 100 m due to an insufficiently flat trajectory and poor precision.
- Low rate of fire.
- Danger when firing the weapon while shouldered. Due to the rocket charge continuing to burn, it is possible to burn the shooter's hands and face.
Trials showed that the 60 mm American anti-tank rocket launcher cannot be accepted for use by the Acting Army, and further purchase is unreasonable.
3,000 rocket launchers were shipped in total, and only 4,260 rockets, or about one and a half rockets per launcher."
