Sat, 23 May 2009 03:43:20 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=6019#comment-9854 Many people said that anti-tank rifles are so unsuccessful. For example, the Mauser model 1918 is already outdated when it entered service. World War 1 tanks had a better chance of breaking down than being destroyed with an anti-tank rifle! I know it sounds kinda dumb but technology isn't easy. Many people said that anti-tank rifles are so unsuccessful. For example, the Mauser model 1918 is already outdated when it entered service.
