The Anti-Tank Rifle

Osprey titles have a wonderful way of surprising readers, whatever title, as shown in this latest title in the Weapon Series. If you think you knew how many types of anti-tank rifles were developed, think again after reading this in-depth work. The most common types are covered, but it is the not so familiar types which really stand out and the other roles to which purpose they were used. For example, the L-39/44 20mm calibre was also used in the anti-aircraft role. The numbers produced and used in combat will amaze weapons enthusiasts. The author covers the history of the AT rifle from its beginnings in WWI and traces it all the way to its conclusion in the 1950s. Weapon collectors will enjoy this work, as will ballistics enthusiasts. Fascinating and amazing by degrees, this book is another complete chapter in infantry weaponry.
