Default 90mm recoilless

Anyone ever fire a 90mm.
I did one time.
It has a round kinda like a 106,only alot smaller, with a bunch of holes in the case.
You load it from the back end. The back end swings open and you put the round in. When you fire it the bottom of the shell case breaks apart and flys out the back of the tube.
Recoilless, is not quite the name I would give this thing. Its like pulling both barrels on a double barrel 12 gage , maybe worse.
I remember shooting it from one hill to the next. about 300 yards, Pretty accurate, I don't know if it was luck or what but I hit a dry patch of ground I was aiming at. I only shot one so I have nothing to go by. I would guess it was excellent marksmanship.
