  1. I think the best way to signify the danger of using a recoilless rifle would be to stamp a pictogram on it that shows angles behind and in front of it marked "danger" and angles to the side marked "safe", with the "danger" angle behind it ending in a radius with the written minimum safe distance on it, and it says "stand clear of back blast" and "do not fire inside buildings" somewhere. though of course it's a weapon that should really only be used by soldiers who were taught its use in training, given how dangerous it is to their comrades if used wrong.

  2. imagine pushing that trigger when the back blast is directed towards the ground for indirect fire 😬

  3. I would imagine that in WW2 when these were effective against most vehicles, a few of these together would have made for excellent ambush weapons. for firing at a predetermined position on a road, these would have been very conveniently transportable weapons relative to the amount of damage they could reliably do - presumably you could hit more reliably than with shoulder-fired weapons, and probably over significantly longer range. they would also be quite easily concealable at least from the view point of their target (basically any bush will do).
