M-59A
Notes:
Produced by the famous Skoda Works in Czechoslovakia, this obsolescent
recoilless rifle is only found in service with second-class Czech formations and
with a few city militia and marauder units.
It is extremely rare outside of Czechoslovakia, generally found in that
country or within 100km of its borders.
It uses a 12.7mm spotting rifle, and is the only recoilless rifle in the
Warsaw Pact to use that aiming method.

P-27 Pancerovka
Notes:
This is a Czech modification of the RPG-2.
Ammunition for the P-27 is not interchangeable with RPG-2 ammunition, and
the P-27 is a larger, longer, heavier weapon firing a round with a much larger
warhead. The P-27 also has a bipod,
a folding scissors-type on a strut; the bipod can also be used as a foregrip
when standing. By 2000, the P-27 was largely out of service in Eastern Europe,
and the most likely place to encounter it was Africa (particularly Angola and
Namibia) and Southeastern Asian countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and
Thailand.

Notes:
This weapon does not exist in real life.
Twilight 2000
Notes: Traditionally, the Czech armament industry has preferred to manufacture
its own variations of Pact weapons for its soldiers.
The RPG-27 continues in this long tradition.
In this case, the RPG-27 is used in place of the RPG-16.
The launch tube is made from lightweight glass fiber.

RPG-75
Notes:
This is a Czech LAW now in service with a number of pact armies.
Each launcher comes with a pair of earplugs in a little plastic case
attached to the carrying strap. The
sights are quite crude and can be difficult to use properly.

Tarasnice
Notes: This is a
smoothbore recoilless gun (it is smoothbore, not rifled, and therefore not a
recoilless rifle). It comes with a
very light carriage (simply a pair of metal wheels snapped on), but is light
enough to be fired from the shoulder.
This is the recoilless rifle found on some variants of the OT-62.
