To get the idea what we're talking about. Let's take a look at IRL references.

right but "those are on paper"

I think granatbüsche will be a potato thrower.
I think PTRS-41 will be Level 50 Gopnik
M18 Recoiless Rifle will definitely be Level 100 Mafia Boss

Granatbuchse will probably suck. M18 will be another meme cannon since it's just a giant shotgun and PTRS will be another meme cannnon.

M18 will be US handheld AA

M18 will be an interesting one, because it only fired 57mm shells in WWII.
The .50BMG rounds required modification of the weapon, something the soldiers didn't need or want to do.

I can't even find any documentation of such modification being used at all in WWII, so unless Reto have decided to bend reality and screw around with stuff that didn't exist in WWII, the M18 will simply be a high-velocity, low-calibre rocket launcher. Not a 'true' anti-tank rifle, per say.

However, the Ampulomet lobbed incendiary glass balls in WWII, not rockets. Reto chose to twist reality to stick their bootleg bazooka in the game, so M18 might end up firing .50BMG after all.

The T25E5 canister rounds were a post-WWII development, and Reto seem to (unreasonably) dislike the concept of shotguns, so we can practically guarantee that those won't make it into the game.

The devs played too much CS 1.6 to want shotguns in their game XD
No, they were pretty ♥♥♥♥♥ and only encourage people to camp corners. I dont mind their absence.
