The German Me 163 Komet is a well known rocket powered interceptor used during WW2. With the frequent bombing of industry in Germany, there were numerous inventions to counter Allied bombers. One of the late war developments was a weapon called the SG500 Jägerfaust (Hunter’s fist) which was tested and used briefly in 1945.

Similar to the “Schräge musik” cannons that facilitated shooting underneath bombers, this was a recoilless weapon.

I recommend Osprey publishing’s book “Jagdgeschwader 400” which details the Me163 with this weapon and other well researched notes.
