bazooka
Shoulder-fired tube
A bazooka is a portable rocket launcher fired from the shoulder, used primarily against tanks and fortifications.
The weapon gained prominence in World War II and became iconic in military imagery.
The name, borrowed from a novelty musical instrument, has become shorthand for any shoulder-fired missile launcher: They took out the tank with a bazooka.
