The "bazooka" in the film is based on a real world weapon! It draws inspiration from the U.S. Marine Corps' Mk 153 SMAW, shorthand for Shoulder-Launched, Multipurpose Assault Weapon, which fires an 83mm rocket.Its primary function is being a portable assault weapon i.e. bunker buster and a secondary function as an anti-armor rocket launcher. It was first used by the United States Armed Forces in 1984 and has a maximum range of 500 meters or 550 yards against a tank-sized target. It can be fired from a standing, kneeling, or prone position, and is possibly the loudest weapon in its class, with a muzzle report of over 187 decibels! Each launcher costs approximately 13 000 USD, though some ammunition for it actually costs even more; for example, the Mk. 6 HEAT round costs an astonishing $25 000!
