Description:
The AT4, M136 US Army designation, is a lightweight, recoil less, self-contained, preloaded, shoulder-fired, one-shot disposable weapon designed for quick and easy operation. It is suitable for any combat situation, even urban warfare. Its primary target are armored vehicles, structures, fortifications and transport vehicles.
The AT4 fires a free-flight, fin-stabilized rocket with a shaped charge warhead. The rocket features 84mm of diameter, weighs 1.8 kg and 0.46 meters long. The M287 is a derivative of the AT4 to provide training. Saab and ATK have produced more than 600,000 AT4 weapons to date.
The AT4 CS (Confined Space) is a special derivative of the AT4 designed to be fired from confined spaces. AT4 CS is a fully urban combat compatible weapon. The penetrator warhead of the baseline AT4 was also improved achieving penetration of 500mm in armor. On the other hand AT4 CS is just slightly more weighing than the AT4.
