It seems there are some well read people here so I thought I would ask about a weapon that has fasinated me for awhile; the recoiless rifle.

I can find stats online but I was more interested in how it was used.

Was the Recoiless Rifle intended only as a AT weapon? Was it ever effective. Did it fire a rocket like the bazooka or a shell. Could it be used to deliver HE rounds into structures like buildings or bunkers.

Does it have any place in a modern milatary or have shoulder fired weapons made it obsolete. Are they still being used by any major nation or 3rd world armies.
