This is M20B1 "Super Bazooka" ?
I don't Know the type of Bazooka. - KINKI'boy (talk) 0:08, 30 August 2013 (JST)
- My guess is that this is an image of the original M20 bazooka, as I think that was the only variant that had the different shoulder support with the monopod in the front of it. I think the image on the main page isn't even an M20, but is rather the Type 51 which is a Chinese copy in 90mm (I'm going by the different pistol grip). I think one of the images under the A1/A1B1 section is wrong as well. The one labeled as an A1B1 has the sight mount attached to a rectangular bracket like on the A1, but actually the A1B1 sight mount was cast directly into the rear barrel section. The most useful information I can find is here but it only shows the difference between the M20A1 and the M20A1B1, so am not sure what the difference between on M20 and an M20B1, but it would have the original style latch like the picture above rather than the improved one from the A1 launchers. I'll have a look through the appearances of these and see if I can sort out the sections. --commando552 (talk) 04:31, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
- Just worked it out, this is a B1. The M20 and M20B1 are pretty much the same, but one difference is that the shoulder support on the B1 bolts directly to the barrel (like in this image) as opposed to on rings the go around the barrel. The shape of the trigger guard is also the same as the A1/A1B1 on the B1 wheras on the original M20 it is slightly different being angled rather than vertical at the front. Here is am original M20 for comparison: --commando552 (talk) 05:09, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
Obligatory weirdo gun
M25 "Three Shot Bazooka," a 50-pound, lever-action (!) version of the M20 with a 3-round overhead magazine / hopper feed - 3.5in. Supposedly 1,500 of these were made and were standardised with an M-number in 1950 or 1951, though there is no documentation of M25s being issued during the Korean War. There is no record of what happened to them either, though there are reports that the Texas Military Forces Museum in Austin has one in its collection.
