12/14/2023 0 Comments Anti tank rifle modern![]() ![]() ![]() Sometime during the Cold War, as complicated and expensive pieces of kit like radars, missile launchers and communications nodes proliferated various militaries started to come up with the idea of developing a weapon that could be used to launch low-intensity attacks on them. Not long thereafter recoiless anti-tank weapons became widespread and the idea of an anti-armour rifle was discarded, although some of the rifles produced up to that point - particularly by Lahtil and Solothurn - were of cannon calibre (20mm) and wandered about on the personal weapon/ heavy weapons/ ordnance dividing line. By the start of WW2 advances in vehicle armour had made them essentially obsolete although most nations entered the war with at least one type on their inventory they were rapidly found to be all but useless 1 against most armoured fighting vehicles and discarded. The ancestor of the type is found in the anti-tank rifle - developed in the later years of WW1 and made mainstream in the interwar years. They also tend to be pretty effective against human targets as well, given their high power and (usually) high calibre. The Anti Material Rifle is a high powered rifle designed to attack non-living targets such as vehicles, ordnance and pieces of stationary plant. ![]() 1700s 1800s 1910s 1920s abandoned abduction aboriginal acid adventure_seed aesop africa afterlife agriculture aircraft airplane airport alabama alarm alchemist alchemy algae alien aliens alloy alternate_universe alternative_science america american ammunition amphibean amphibious amulet ancient_astronauts ancient_egypt ancient_greece ancient_rome ancient_world android angel angler animal animal_cruelty antarctica antidote antigravity antimatter ape apocalypse apprentice aquaculture aquatic_animal arabia arachnid archaeology architecture archosaur arctic arizona arkansas armor armour armoured_fighting_vehicle arrow art arthropod artifact artist asia assassination assault asteroid astrology astronautics astronomy astrophysics athlete atmosphere atomic australia australian author automobile aviation aviator ax aztec aztec_mythology baby badass balkans ballet baltic bamboo banking bar barbarian barber base bat bear ![]()
