Satchel charge - HE ammo - no AP or HEAT value - not a good anti tank assault weapon (but better than nothing). As it should be. Satchel charges are for use on bunkers.

Flame thrower - flame weapon - special penetration rules. Special morale rules for target etc. A reasonable AT weapon - but AT grenades (with big enough HEAT) are better.

Anti tank rifle - AP ammo - uses the piffling HEAT value most ATR have for just that purpose in close assault. (The guys probably push the thing into the tracks )!.
