A Recoilless Rifle is a lightweight portable gun with a rifled barrel. Such weapons do not have the sophisticated recoil system of conventional artillery, but offset recoil by allowing some of the propellant gases to escape through a nozzle at the back of the gun. Recoilless Rifles are used primarily for short-range antitank defense when the barrel can be pointed directly at the target. This limits the exposure of the Recoilless Rifle crew and minimizes detection of and minimizes detection of the exhaust gases that escape from the tail end of the weapon.
