ArmbrustArmbrust LAW - A light unguided anti-tank weapon developed by Germany, who later sold its manufacturing rights to Singapore, and equips 2 men in every 7-men Singapore infantry section with an anti-tank capability. The Armbrust is a recoilless gun, and its design is the only recoilless gun that may safely be fired in an enclosed space. As the projectile is forced forward by the propellant, a similar mass of shredded plastic is propelled in the opposite direction. The plastic disperses upon leaving the back of the gun, and is quickly stopped by air resistance. This is gradually replaced by Singapore-developed MATADOR in 2004.
