73mm LRAC
The LRAC de 73mm Mle 1950 was a French antitank rocket launcher produced and fielded in the 1950s. The LRAC fired a 73-mm high explosive antitank projectile that was capable of penetrating over 11 inches of rolled homogenous armor when struck at a 90-degree angle of impact. The LRAC 73-50 was replaced in French service by the 3.5-inch M20 Bazooka. Used during the Korean War for the French Battalion of the United Nations Organisation, it pierced the armor of T-34 tanks.
The LRAC 73-50 had a shield to protect the operator's face from the rocket's back-blast.
