Oct. 10, 1959 - The US Army's shoulder-fired medium Assault Weapon, 90mm recoilless rifle, will arm the Infantryman with the close-range punch of a medium-sized tank gun. Designed to be carried into battle and employed by a team of two men, the 35 pound, four foot long weapon in an emergency, can be carried, loaded and fired by one man. It fires a shaped charge shell which penetrates the heaviest armor known. The rifle's effective range, 500 yards, is more than twice that of the 3.5 bazooka of Korean War fame.
