M9A1 Bazooka

The M9A1 Bazooka and M6A1 Rocket were in common use by 1945. When fired, the rocket can punch through solid steel or concrete and served as a devastating weapon against Japanese bunkers on Iwo Jima. Due to the rockets being quite delicate, requiring careful wiring to the Bazooka, it was intended to be a weapon with a crew of two men. Julian both loaded and fired his bazooka four times during the firefight which earned him the Medal of Honor.
