Leader RedBaird Posted September 4, 2020 Leader Posted September 4, 2020 This had reminded me of a certain WW2 weapon: But Google Image-Searching for "piat anti-tank grenade launcher", "piat anti-tank" and "british piat" all returned ONLY this image and no others! Quote

That seems to have been one of a book in a series! Quote Casca Series Casca is a series of paperback novels, and since January 2014, ebooks as well, created and written by author Barry Sadler in 1979. The stories revolve around the life of Casca Rufio Longinus, the soldier in the Roman legions who drove the Holy Lance into the side of Jesus Christ on Golgotha, and who is doomed by Jesus to wander the Earth aimlessly, always as a soldier, until the Second Coming. Wikipedia The Casca series is available as books, on Kindle and on Audio-books. 1 Quote

Another promotion for Vice89 BTW, a Google image search for "piat anti-tank grenade launcher" does now show the correct images and sites about the piat weapon now and not just the "Fat_Man" weapon ! :glitch: Edited September 6, 2020 by RedBaird typos :( 1 1 Quote
