The LRAC de 73mm Mle 1950 (lance-roquettes antichar de 73 mm modèle 1950 (LRAC 73-50)) was a French antitank rocket launcher produced and fielded in the 1950s. The LRAC fired a 73-mm high explosive antitank projectile that was capable of penetrating over 11 inches of rolled homogenous armor when struck at a 90-degree angle of impact. The LRAC 73-50 was replaced in French service by the 3.5-inch M20 Bazooka.The LRAC 73-50 had a shield to protect the operator’s face from the rocket’s back-blast.
