L-6 Wombat
Notes: An obsolete British antiarmor weapon, the Wombat was replaced by the Milan and other guided missiles. It remains in service with a number of armies around the world, such as some former British colonies. The Wombat uses a telescopic sight and a .50 spotting rifle (the same as on the US M40A2). It uses a wheeled carriage similar to that of many recoilless rifles of such size.

LAW-80
Notes: This is the primary short range antiarmor weapon for British troops. It uses a large warhead for a LAW-type weapon, and is very effective against armor from nearly any angle of impact. The LAW-80 is disposable and issued as a round of ammunition. To assist in aiming the weapon, the LAW-80 includes a semiautomatic 9mm spotting rifle that uses tracer rounds that produce a bright flash upon impact. The result is that every successful hit with the spotting rifle allows the firer a +1 to hit, up to +3. The spotting rifle has a 5-round magazine. The launch tube is carried collapsed and is extended before firing. In addition to the British, Jordan and Oman use the LAW-80.
