The bazooka weapon was one of the initial anti-tank weapons based on the High Explosive Anti-tank (HEAT) shell to enter service, used by the United States Armed Forces in World War II and the Korean War.
It was nicknamed "bazooka" from a vague resemblance to the musical instrument of the same name.
Bazookas were replaced in some roles by 57 mm and 75 mm recoilless rifles in the last battles of WWII (1945).
