It was originally envisioned as a mobile anti-tank weapon for the infantry. It’s basically the end of the line for the recoilless rifle as an anti-tank weapon. It started to be replaced by ATGMs like the TOW and Dragon.

There may be photos of it in use in the Squadron Signal Armor of the Vietnam War book.
