There was a 155mm recoilless gun used as part of the Davy Crockett weapon system - but it was far too big to be used like a bazooka.

Could this be an example of a deception tactic, a non-existent weapon intended to worry the Soviets?

Thats also the only reference I could find to a 155mm RR online, also. I'm thinking this doc at cato.org is either erroneous (i.e. wrong facts re: that patent I found) or as Matt said, intentionally misleading...
