I don’t think Bolt Action is a “fantasy” game or a historic simulation.  Some authors imagine they are creating a game that is “historically” accurate, the truth is none of them are.  Historical wargaming is gaming and it is about a fun game with some “historical flavor”.   How they balance “fun” with “historical flavor” often becomes the subject of discussion with players arguing for or against a rule.

Eventually, I have come to realize that as long as the game is fun, it is better not to sweat the details.  However, for people that like a rule set except some particular mechanic, you can always test your own “house rules”.  So, if you think the bazooka or panzerfaust rules should have been written differently, they write them differently.  There is no rule against changing the rules.  If over time your thoughts align with others they often show up in future editions.  I have noticed that is especially true with Black Powder and its supplements.
