Italian antitank weapons

[!Mark]

2 obscure (presumably unbuilt) antitank guns to be used by italian paracadutisti.

● The first by Bettica is described like and compared to a Bazooka, only it threw a grenade and not a rocket. Bettica was the name of a mortar in WW1, maybe the designer was the same? Maybe this was a lighter handheld version?

● The second by the semi-legendary Giovanni "Nino" Buttazzoni, described more like a handgun (reminds me of the 60mm Lanciabombe) but this time it would shoot a rocket!
