It has been years since I handled a PIAT, but if memory serves, it launched a projectile not by the action of an explosive, but by one hellova strong spring. That would place the felt slam against the body parts in the category of "reaction" under Newton's Third Law of Motion, rather than "recoil", which is the result of the action of an explosive.
Nevertheless, your point is well taken. How about firing a WW=I era .55 caliber Boyes anti-tank rifle? Now, THAT was true recoil!
It snowed last night, Ginger. I guess that postpones our trip to the range.
