The following is a list of MANPATS. Three main categories of MANPATS are in use, which are split into the following lists.
Rocket launchers launch unguided self-propelled projectiles. Recoilless weapons launch unguided projectiles. They are accelerated by ejecting a counter-mass, such as a propellant gas, from the weapon's rear. There are two categories of recoilless weapons: Recoilless rifles have a rifled barrel and use spin stabilised projectiles (example: Carl Gustav 8.4 cm) Recoilless guns are smoothbore and shoot fin stabilised projectiles (examples: AT4, MATADOR RGW 90) Anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM)
