The DZJ-08 (Chinese: 08式80毫米单兵多用途攻坚弹系统; pinyin: 08 Shì 80 háomǐ dān bīng duō yòngtú gōngjiān dàn xìtǒng; literally: 'Type 08 Individual Multipurpose Assault Ammunition System') is a portable, disposable, unguided, shoulder-launched, multipurpose recoilless smoothbore rifle. The weapon is designed as a multi-role assault weapon aiming to provide anti-armor, anti-fortification, anti-personnel capability. Designed and manufactured by Norinco for People's Liberation Army, Type 08 is the successor to Type 89 light anti-tank weapon (LAW).


Type 08 has a unique firing mechanism called hermetic balance projection (Chinese: 密闭式平衡抛射; pinyin: Mìbì shì pínghéng pāoshè) that inspired by C.Davis recoilless principle. Compare to the previous system, Type 08 utilizes countermass to reduce the recoil, noise, muzzle flash, pressure wave and back blast that can cause burns and overpressure as well as creating conspicuous launch signature of the user. Moreover, Type 08's multipurpose ammunition has a relatively small blast radius of 7 meters, which gives the weapon system a minimum range of 25 meters. Thus, soldier can use weapon safely inside confined spaces.

Description


Type 08 is China's first attempt to develop a rocket launcher that can be used in confined space and urban warfare. China used Type 89 rocket launcher to replace Type 69 RPG in the 90s, however the problem of back blast became prominent. Since May 2000, Norinco started to design a new generation of rocket launcher that is portable, single-use and can be distributed to each individual soldier of infantry squad like Type 89 yet offers low collateral damage. DZJ-08 weights 7.6kg, is water-proof and features a fordable day sight. The weapon also has folding front-grip and carrying handle. Firing instruction is printed on the left side of the launch tube.
