    Japanese grenade lanucher called knee mortar by US troops because of the shape of the base plate.

    Can we pop any old ww2 weapon in? or does it have to be allied? seems like keeping to one side or the other could make this a little too easy? anyway that's a massive clue as to who created this:

    It's been on the books so long now I shall identify it as a '2cm Luftfaust' shoulder mounted launcher for low level air defence. Designed for ease of production it fired modified 20mm cannon shells in one burst of 2 salvos of 4&5 0.2 secs. apart. Ordered into production in 1945 it's believed none reached service.

    Next 'name-it' weapons question open to anyone.

    Cheers,
    Adam
