What is the back blast specification for the AT4?

• A. 100m/90 degree
• B. 60m/60 degree
• C. 40m/30 degree
• D. 200m/90 degree

Answer: (A)

Back blast is the dangerous plume of gas, heat, and debris that shoots out the rear of the AT4 when it fires. Because the launcher vents exhaust backward, anyone behind or near the back of the weapon can be severely injured or killed, and nearby flammable material can catch fire. To protect crew and bystanders, the safety standard sets a danger zone of 100 meters behind the launcher and a 90-degree arc to the sides of the rear axis. In practice, you must ensure no personnel are within 100 meters and within that rear arc before firing. The other distances or narrower angles wouldn’t adequately cover the full rear hazard, so they aren’t appropriate.
