How do you gain weight after losing too much?
Whatever your size, don't go stuffing yourself to pack back on the pounds. However, you probably don't have much of an appetite if you dropped drastically in weight. Begin by just incorporating breakfast, lunch and dinner, even if it's not a big serving (a breakfast bar, half a sandwich). Vary your meals to give your body the various nutrients it needs. Perhaps it would be easier if you dined with someone you're comfortable with, such as a family member, friend, or co-worker. You should gradually gain your weight back. Eat what you like!!

What is the best man portable antitank weapon for example the RPG7?
The American AT-4. Has low back blast, making it usable in confined rooms....the new modelI've seen some pictures which show the AT4 has a very large back blast (wikipedia's article on it has one)The RPG-7 has less back blast but it is a significantly more primitive weapon.AnswerThe best man-portable AT weapon is called MATADOR--Man-portable, Antitank, Antidoor. It was invented in Singapore, and the German army is buying them. The weapon has three advantages: Its warhead can be used in either high-explosive antitank (HEAT) or high-explosive squash head (HESH) mode by extending or collapsing a probe in the warhead--no other manportable AT weapon I am aware of works in anything but HEAT mode. The advantage of HESH in a light weapon is it isn't designed to penetrate the armor--it hits the vehicle, explodes, and causes a chunk of metal to fly off the inside of the armor and break into millions of very sharp little pieces (this is called spalling).The weapon is also good against brick walls. Insurgents don't have tanks; they DO have buildings to hide in. MATADOR takes away that advantage.The weapon has no backblast to speak of, which allows the weapon to be fired from inside buildings. It's safer because you won't cook your buddy by firing a weapon in his vicinity and the enemy can't home in on the flames coming out of the weapon.____________________________I'd say a WWII Russian 20mm single bolt action anti-tank rifle.
Where is the panzarshrek in Call of Duty 3?
Panzerschreck was the popular name for the Raketenpanzerbüchse (abbreviated to RPzB), an 88 mm calibre reusable anti-tank rocket launcher developed by Nazi Germany in World War II. Another popular nickname was Ofenrohr ("stove pipe").[1]The Panzerschreck was designed as a lightweight infantry anti-tank weapon. The weapon was shoulder-launched and fired a rocket-propelled, fin-stabilized grenade with a shaped charge warhead. It was made in much smaller numbers than the Panzerfaust, which was a disposable recoilless rifle firing an anti-tank warhead.n 1941, when the Germans encountered the new Soviet tank designs such as the T-34, they quickly discovered the effectiveness of the high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) round against this new threat. The need of a more effective infantry anti-tank weapon than the Panzerbüchse 39 (PzB 39) anti-tank rifles was paramount for the German army.Development for such a weapon which used the HEAT principle quickly ensued. The first development was a converted anti-tank grenade launcher version of the P.z.b 39 anti-tank rifle called the G.z.b 39. Development created the Faustpatrone and later the Panzerfaust which were highly effective against Allied armor but lacked the range and multi-purpose nature of the 2.36-inch (60mm) M1A1 "Bazooka". German troops later captured many Allied bazookas in North Africa as well as some lend-lease versions on the Eastern front. The German army quickly developed an enlarged German version of the M1A1 Bazooka, the Raketenpanzerbüchse, which had double the penetrative performance and used a bigger 88 mm round. Although this was a much heavier round than its Allied counterpart, it proved itself against Allied armor on all fronts, earning the nickname "tank terror".The first model was the RPzB 43 which was 164 cm long and weighed about 9.25 kg when empty. Operators of the RPzB 43 had to wear a protective poncho and a gas mask without a filter to protect them from the heat of the backblast when the weapon was fired. In October 1943, it was succeeded by the RPzB 54 which was fitted with a blast shield to protect the operator. This was heavier and weighed 11 kg empty. This was followed by the RPzB 54/1 with an improved rocket, shorter barrel and a range increased to about 180 meters.Firing the RPzB generated a lot of smoke both in front and behind the weapon. Because of the weapon's tube and the smoke, the German troops nicknamed it the Ofenrohr ("Stove Pipe"). This also meant that Panzerschreck teams were revealed once they fired, making them targets and, therefore, required them to shift positions. This type of system also made it problematic to fire the weapon from inside closed spaces (such as bunkers or houses), filling the room with toxic smoke and revealing the firing location immediately. This was in contrast to the British PIAT's cumbersome, but non-smoking system, or the Panzerfaust's short burst launch system.The Panzerschreck was an effective weapon. Allied bazookas had problems with newer up-armored German tanks later in the war, most notably the Tiger tank and the Panther tank. By comparison the Panzerschreck rocket could penetrate over 200 mm of armor, which was only found on the IS-2 Soviet tanks, but paid for this extra hitting power with extra weight. The rocket projectile weighed 3.3 kg (7.25 lb).[2] One direct hit was usually enough to destroy any Allied armored vehicle. When handled by well-trained crews, this weapon became the bane of Allied armored units, who frequently attempted to add improvised protection to their tanks, e.g. sandbags, spare track units, logs and so on. Most of this make-shift protection had little actual effect, and in fact overtaxed the vehicle's engine, transmission, and suspension systems.[3]
