Agreed. I ran across this roster of launchers that might come in handy. Note that this list also includes 'antitank grenade launchers' such as the RPG-7 and its ilk, as well as full-on auto-GLs most practically seen as mounted/emplaced weapons.

And since the VC world surely includes a light vehicle analogous to the venerable jeep there is, as noted earlier in a couple of other threads, much potential for fast-attack forces using jeeps and mounted weapons (HMGs, RRs, and so forth). Folks who've read 'Red Storm Rising' have a good idea of how disruptive such units can be to armored forces lacking proper screen support...
