The 7lbs of kablooey is a shaped charge, but firing it into a steel armor plate means you get a refund, and even a modest refund on that amount puts you solidly in a Ziploc baggie.
There’s also that newton guys laws… Which takes the 7 lbs that isn’t TNT and hurls it back at you, with way more yeet than it needs to very thoroughly aerate the fuck out of whatever sort of paste like substance the kablooey transmogrified you into…
It would be surprising to me if the operators were the only casualties. Bound to have been a few collaterals, not counting the intended targets. This is a dozen grenades worth of fuckemup, on a fucking pokey stick… The survival rate is a soft chuckle.
What was the survival rate amongst the lungers?
7lbs of TNT, 6’ long stick, 14lbs total weight…

This person absolutely must be a scientist.

I don’t have hard numbers but Wikipedia calls it a suicide anti-tank weapon and that’s a pretty short stick.
They tried longer sticks but it resulted in too much cheating at pole vaulting.
I’m imagining something like a Quake rocket jump, and now I need to see it.
Afaik they were suicide bombs
