Lightweight warhead direct fire projection
The title looks awfully technical, but it's precisely on topic, for I see a gap in the available hardware.
I began to compile a list of lightweight equipment to see how much weight could be saved from the infantryman's load over a year ago, and identified a gap. There was no satisfactory device to propel a substantial grenade forward in direct fire.
All military off-the-shelf solutions appear to be deficient in one way or another.
The anti-tank weapons and munitions are often meant to penetrate heavy passive protection and are much too heavy for almost everything. The PzF 3 is one of the few good ones, but it's awfully heavy at 13.3 kg + sight unit.
