THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION In February and March 1951 Yugoslav infantry regiments received a supply of the new RB bazooka (Rucni Reaktnivni Bacac "RB"I). Artillery regiment sections also are to be equipped with one each. The new weapon, which is of Yugoslav manufacture, replaces the old type which is being taken out of use and stored in warehouses. The new bazooka is being manufactured in the Kragujevac and Sarajevo arsenals. It employs two types of projectiles the delayed-action and the armor piercing type which weigh, respectively, 3 kilograms and !J kilograms. The delayed-action projectile has a range of 200 meters, and the armor- piercing type attains 500 meters. The latter type can perforate 18 M. of steel armor or 2 meters of cement. The propelling charge weighs 200 grams. The projectile and the charge are inserted in the muzzle. The charge is detonated by a magazine, containing six primers, which is placed in a special slot. The RB bazooka has a minimum recoil since half the gas escapes through the breech while the other half is discharged in flight. Two men are assigned to each bazookat one carries it while the other acts as gunner. It may be fired from the shoulder or from a tripod on the ground, and is equipped with a muzzle sight.
