No no, this was not a bug in the design. It is a feature even common to modern designs, so there must be an advantage to it. I've seen lots of videos from Ukraine where this happens! 😁
Thanks Bruce. Those two articles were a real treat! My mate interviewed Günter Halm for an anti-tank project back.in the 90s (maybe the 80s). I've got the report somewhere. Try wapentakes@gmail.com and I'll try to dig it out.

I'm glad that you like the article. I suspect that I would find much of interest in the interview with Herr Halm.
