Hello,
I found this 'secret' report on scribd : Report n° 311 of the publication board, department of commerce, Washington D.C. dated december 1944.
https://fr.scribd.com/doc/251244513/Italian-Anti-Tank-Shoulder-Weapon-pdf
Prior to the armistice, Italians were developping an anti-tank shoulder weapon. It was given to the allied after the occupation of Rome.
It was constructed out of an italian carbine and a 60mm mortar barrel and fired low velocity high explosive projectiles.
Unfortunately, there are only a poor drawing of the weapon and one of the projectile.
Does someone has ever seen this weapon or its projectiles and has a decent picture ?
Regards,
S.
