AT4s, not Bazookas; and none of the bikers involved had done any
military 
service (they had all managed to evade the conscription, most of them
due 
to various medical reasons) - with the result that even though they
fired 
several of the weapons at one another they never actually managed to
kill 
anyone.

Which only goes to prove that no matter how hard you work to design a 
weapon even an idiot could use effectively, it won't take long until
nature 
comes up with an even worse idiot... :-/
