The Model 420 is a one-shot disposable anti-tank weapon. Comparable to the M79B1 LAW in use around the world, the Model 420 is designed to offer better armor penetration against vehicles. The key to this is the use of a tandem charge warhead, allowing it to disregard the profigilate use of Ablative Armor to defeat light munitions. Armed with a heavier warhead, this allows the weapon to defeat lighter vehicles, while still packing a punch.
The whole weapon is contained in a weatherproof telescoping container that mounts non-adjustable sights that allows excellent sighting in all conditions. A spring loaded trigger automatically, when depressed, extends the rear assembly for firing. However, it cannot accept any accessories. Another feature that makes it better to buy is the use of a blast container that allows the weapon to be fired in an enclosed space, without suffering the problems of backblast that users of the M79B1 must face. With this in mind, it is obvious that the Model 420 is the better buy for your light firepower needs.
