PIAT book by Matt Moss

It came today. Great book. I turned immediately to variations.

I found a snub nosed PIAT, a folding PIAT, clock PIAT and my favorite, a pocket "PIAT" (Clarke bombard)

Matt has plans for a video on the Clarke bombard.

Minimal sound and flash signature and unlike our Bazooka and M18 Recoilless it could be fired from cover. Very limited range but that big shaped charge worked.

I'll post link if its allowed.

Is it all about the projector or does he also go into detail on the development of the different marks of bombs (covering things like the switch from Nobles-808 to RDX/TNT)?
 
He covers development and use as well as projectiles. I invited him to join and he is now a member here. Maybe he will respond. If not I'll look up HE change for you.
