The recoilless firearm comprises a barrel tube (1) open at its two ends (2, 3) and a central propellent charge (5) arranged between a projectile (7) and an inert reaction mass (6) dischargeable to the rear. This reaction mass consists of a granular substance stored in a rigid container, the side wall of which can be cut open at the start of the shot by a set of cutting tools (4) arranged at the rear (3) of the barrel tube. This firearm is an individual antitank firearm capable of launching high-calibre and high-mass armour-piercing projectiles. <IMAGE>
