Shouldn't this be at high explosive anti-tank shell or something? It is just a string of adjectives looking for a noun. Rmhermen 22:04 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Actually High explosive anti-tank is more than enough on it's own, that's the common term.

Shouldn't you have renamed it and not deleted it and recreated it Maury? We lost the history and links havn't been updated... That's annoying, even if the page shouldn't have been renamed in the first place... JidGom 21:04, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC) sorry

[edit] WP:MILHIST Assessment

I guess I'm jumping the gun a little bit - there needs to be a references section, at least one source, before this can truly be considered B-class. However, in other respects, I think the length and level of detail and thoroughness, along with the pretty pictures, seem to warrant a B-rating. Many editors might have left out the History section all together, but here it's fairly well written and thorough. LordAmeth 01:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Gentelmen and ladies

HEAT is a military term to denote this type of weapon I find this artical to be informative and well written, however 150 to 200 times diameter is a relative term. The ss gew panzergr 61 with a diameter of 61mm has a penetration of 90 mm and the panzerfaust 30 with a diameter of 100mm has a penetration of 140mm casts some doubt on those figures. ref.."deutsche panzerabwehr" p. chamberlin, h.doyle, and t.gander ref..."the encyclopedia of infintry weapons of world war two" ian v. hogg

[edit] How does this weapon actualy kill?

The objective of any weapon is to neutralize the opposing threat. We are specifically talking about the anti-amour weaponry. They go about their various ways to achieve this penetrating power and is always well documented in the Wikipeda articles. All thou they always lack description of where the actual kill comes from. What does it do once it penetrates the amour? How does it disable? --Turbinator 18:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm no expert but I'd imagine that what penetrates is hot enough to light a few things on fire Adoggz 02:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
