The M1 Bazooka in real life.
The Bazooka, specifically the M1 Bazooka, was a man-portable rocket launcher designed by Edward Uhl in 1942. It fired a 60mm rocket-propelled grenade. It was widespread among the US Army after its introduction in 1942. It proved to be very effective and Germany created its own design known as the Panzerschreck.
Battlefield 1942
The Bazooka is issued to the US Army, British Army and Red Army Anti-Tank kit. Its essential use is as an anti-armor is quite effective, as it can take only 2 rockets from the back of a tank to destroy it. However, a player must truly look towards flanking a tank, as the frontal armor is much more durable. It can usually destroy a light vehicle in a single shot. It has a large blast radius and damage as well, making it an effective weapon to use against groups of enemies, though aim is key as there is only a single rocket per relatively long reload. It is statistically equivalent to the Axis' Panzerschreck.
