List of man-portable anti-tank systems

The following is a list of MANPATS.

Three main categories of MANPATS are in use, which are split into the following lists.

1. Rocket launchers launch unguided self-propelled projectiles.
2. Recoilless weapons launch unguided projectiles. They are accelerated by ejecting a counter-mass, such as a propellant gas, from the weapon's rear. There are two categories of recoilless weapons:
   • Recoilless rifles have a rifled barrel and use spin stabilised projectiles (example: Carl Gustav 8.4 cm)
   • Recoilless guns are smoothbore and shoot fin stabilised projectiles (examples: AT4, MATADOR RGW 90)
3. Anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM)
