PIAT: The weapon that could punch through steel but needed nerves to match
453Tanks, soft-skin vehicles, bunkers and buildings - the PIAT could deal with them all.
The PIAT - Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank - was a British weapon that proved its worth during the Normandy Landings.
It was introduced in 1943, first seeing action in Tunisia, but was used to good effect in France, and despite its name it was a true multi-purpose weapon.
