The ‘norm’ is probably different for many different operators. PKILL seems to have correlated fairly closely to a K-kill for folks who were highly motivated to aim for wherever they had to aim to make it work.

Remember tanks have blind spots. We had an old WO teach us about tank hunting - I think he might have been German.
Get into the blind spot and you can cripple a tank

Don’t forget the back blast of Carl. It’s quite spectacular and a big weapon signature

The loader was much gentler than I was taught to be...and they both seemed to communicate telepathically, which no infantry instructor would ever let anyone, grunt or WOG, do on a range or in practice...Worst drills ever

My WAG: these are civilian company techs, not troops - hence the "kinder, gentler LOAD!"

Seems like its a tighter range band than some of the other Carl G rounds. Which would make sense if you are using that round in urban combat.
Might just be the angle on the camera though.

You forgot one option:
Paratrooper with anti-tank mine: Priceless
#tbt The Hawkins mine/grenade is 7 inches and weighs 2 pounds. Developed by the British but used wisely by US Army Paratroopers. They would strap it to the lower left leg as shown.
When a vehicle drove over the grenade, it cracked a chemical igniter and leaked acid onto a sensitive chemical, which detonated the explosive. Multiple grenades were often used to destroy tanks or disable their tracks, and the grenade could also be used as a demolition charge.
The grenade was designed so that it could either be thrown at a vehicle like an ordinary anti-tank grenade or used as an anti-tank mine. A number could be strung together in a 'daisy chain' at intervals of around two feet, and then placed across a road to damage an armoured vehicle. The Hawkins was also used in other roles, such as breaching walls. Its small size also meant that it could easily be placed into the 'web' of a railway line and when detonated could destroy a section of track.
Most recently the use of the Hawkins grenade was shown in the film “Saving Private Ryan”
