A soldier from the 1st Battalion Rifle Brigade, 7th Armored Division, emerges from his foxhole armed with a PIAT, December 28, 1944. The Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank fired a 2.5 pound charge which was effective up to 100 yards for armour less than 4-in thick, although a skilled user could only accurately hit such a target about 40% of the time. The user usually sustained bruising from the recoil.
