Abstract
A shoulder-borne weapon for use as a rocket launcher is disclosed. To enable its use in an enclosed space with any complication or excess weight, and without imposing any appreciable recoil effect on the gunner, for all that, at least one weapon tube is guided in limited longitudinal, sliding motion with respect to a barrel comprising shoulder rest means, grip means and firing control means, and means are provided to exert force elastically on the weapon tube, frontwards with respect to a pre-determined firing direction, so as to dampen the recoil motion of the weapon tube with respect to the barrel.
