Who's a good anti-tank platform!? Yes you are! Yesss you are!
I mean, doesn't something recoilless make more sense for these little guys than a rifle?
- It is recoilless. SMAW launchers have blast relief tubes in the back just like RPGs.
  
  I know. I'm saying this is better than rifles.
They said they had a bigger one with an actual goat head that could bark and growl. 😳
