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. 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.

RPG-27 (Czech)
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.

T-21 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.
