試製ジテ弾 / Experimental Ji-Te AT grenade launched from the Type 97 AT rifle - A domestic BR4 weapon for Japan

Japan currently lacks a BR4 anti tank weapon that is domestic (it’s so stupid Japan and the US get an ofenrohr), so today I present the experimental Ji-Te anti-tank grenade. This might sound like a normal grenade you would throw, but it’s a HEAT grenade that’s launched by a gun, although not one of those fired from a normal, weak rifle. No, this one is fired from the 20mm Type 97 semi-automatic anti tank gun, the massive 20mm blanks propelling the grenade which was inserted into the barrel, and the penetration values are estimated to be 200 millimeters of penetration. This would basically be a much beefed up GrB. 39 or AT rifle grenade launcher in practice that has the option to use the main AT rifle as well as the grenade. Not that much is known about this weapon except for some pictures, but that definitely hasn’t stopped the devs before, and especially since Japan’s TT already relies on things with dubious documentation or existance, there should be no problem adding this.



(the Japanese text translates to “experimental/trial production munition Ji Te”)

Should the Ji-Te grenade (with a type 97 AT rifle) be added to the Japanese TT?

Only I call be on 200mm of pen that’s 8 inches of armor or heavy cruiser ground, for one the range would be almost as horrible as accuracy

200mm of penetration is fine for this kind of weapon. It’s a grenade launcher, not a rocket launcher. The projectile wouldn’t go that far and have a noticeable drop to it compared to an ofenrohr

Would be a great BRIII AT or Japs
