HISTORY OF THE WWII M1A1 “BAZOOKA” R. LAUNCHER
AND THE (M6A1) 2.36 R.S.
Bazooka
- is the common name for a
man-portable
recoilless
anti-tank
rocket launcher
weapon, widely deployed by the
United States Army
during WWII.  Also referred to as the "Stovepipe", the innovative bazooka was among the first generation of
rocket-propelled
anti-tank weapons used in
infantry
combat. Featuring a
solid-propellant rocket
for propulsion, it was designed for use
against
armored vehicles
,
machine gun
nests, and fortified
bunkers
at ranges beyond that of a standard thrown hand
grenade
or
mine
.
The universally-applied nickname arose from the M1 variant's vague resemblance to the musical instrument called a "
bazooka
" invented and popularized in the 1930s by comedian
Bob Burns
.
The term "bazooka" was the most commonly used nick name for the M1A1 Rocket Launcher during the war.
R.S. S. charge development
>
In 1942, U.S. Army Colonel
Leslie Skinner
received the munitions developed (M10) shaped-charge gren. which was capable of stopping German tanks. He gave Lieutenant
Edward Uhl
the task of creating a delivery system for a shaped charge.  Uhl created a small finned R. casing design, but needed to design a delivery system that would require a 2 man team and could protect both the Firer, aiming such a weapon & protect the loader from any firing back-blast.
Lt. Uhl described that by chance he walked past a junk pile & saw a long pipe/tube that he instantly determined could provide the perfect delivery system for his new finned rocket shell.  The following design completed in late 1942-early 1943 became the M1 Launcher.  The improved M1A1 was 55” in length & weighed just under 13 pounds unloaded.  The bazooka first saw field combat use in 1943 with the US & Allied Invasion of North Africa.
WWII Production >
General Electric – produced the Bazooka Rocket Launcher
The first 5000 bazooka rocket launchers were produced by General Electric in less than 6 weeks after the first Govt. contract was issued.  Additional contracts were to follow and be issued.
GE also produced the electric ignition harness assemblies that were
fitted to the bazooka rocket launcher.
Almost 700,000 bazooka variants were produced during the war and approx. 15.6 million shells in several variants were also produced by several contractors.
Simon Co (SIMCO) - produced R.S. casings
SA Woods Machine Co. South Boston, MA – produced R.S. casings
EG Budd Metal Fabricators Philadelphia, PA – produced R.S. casings
