Armbrust

Notes: Originally developed by MBB of Germany, the license and manufacturing rights to the Armbrust were sold to CAI of Singapore in 1988, and they now have sole rights to build the weapon. It is a short-range antiarmor weapon, similar in concept to weapons like the AT-4 and M-72. The Armobrust, however, has no firing signature, virtually no backblast, no muzzle flash, and is quieter than a pistol shot when fired. The firer is thus very difficult to locate if he is hidden, and the Armbrust may be fired from enclosed spaces. The warhead is not particularly large, but the Armbrust may be fired in both indirect fire as well as direct fire roles. It is primarily used by troops of the Balkan States today.

Twilight 2000 Notes: In addition to the Balkan States, the militaries of most of NATO are using the Armbrust, as is Mexico and Venezuela. The Armbrust continued to be manufactured in Germany until well into the Twilight War.
