[edit] Description
Recoilless rifles date to pre-spaceflight Terra. They use a high-explosive charge to fire an anti-armor shell. It was the Capellan Confederation that first adapted them to use on battle armor during the Capellan-St. Ives War. Recoilless rifles are still used by infantry forces across human-occupied space.[2]
The Light Recoilless Rifle is the lightest and smallest such weapon.
