Recoiless rifles?

I'm looking for 57mm and 75mm Recoiless rifles for my Korean war forces, do any of the Modern infantry (maybe the Vietnam era ones?) pack contain them?
Thanks

Hi LighttningLewis !
I remember there are many individual 57mm and 75mm recoiless rifles in WWII US Jeep GHQ's pack US11.
Recoiless rifles in this pack are made for beeing mounted on Jeeps (like cal 50'HMG), but you can easily cut off the pin to make an individual portative infantry weapon or mount it on a scratchbuild tripod.
I don't know if the pack "US41" US Infantry Hv weapons, contain many recoiless rifles.
Maybe someone else on the forum may help you to answer to this question ?
Bye

Re Hi !
Oups ! I forget to answer to your principal question !!!
There are no RR (57 & 75) in US Vietnam packs.
(What I know : only RR 106mm exist in modern Ford Mutt pack and in accessories line but I believe there are not your principal interest for Korea war !)
I don't know if another modern infantry pack had them.
Bye,

Not what LightningLewis was looking for, but VN25 (M50A1, Ontos) has 106 mm recoilless rifles.

The NVA and VC heavy weapons packs have RRs on wheeled carriages. Might be more easily modified then the 106s, but they are pretty good size too. Best guess would be to modify the AT rocket gunners in the Vietnam US infantry set or the WW2 bazooka gunners if you want shoulder-fired RRs.

THe BTR50 packs have recoiless rifles in them. You should be albe to just order the sprue.
