Would anti tank rifles come back if mechs were real?

Very likely, along with a resurgence of mobile anti armor shit like AT4's and whatever squad deployable anti armor weaponry

I suppose they would, the alternitive is going full Titanfall and having troops carry rockets/anti-armor weapons that are light enough and aforable enough to be mass produced

>>34176623

No. We'd just issue all soldiers with 40mm HEDP grenades and launchers.

Why use AT rifles when the penetration tends to be lower than what we have at hand now?

>>34176623
We'd just use antitank rockets like LAWs or AT4s depending on the mech size.

boom boom >>> pew pew for most applications

What's wrong with AT4/Carl Gustov?

A mech could use an autoloading cannon or machine gun, infantry would still have their AT weapons.

This. Or any Joe or mullah just out for the kicks with a RPG would stove one in pretty fast.

Mech's are a dumb idea, every thread proves this.

>>34176623
No, why would they?

Already got one.

everything dies to a point blank ambush with AT explosives

>>34176623
AT rifles still exist, they're called anti materiel rifles now.
Even if mechs became common, why would we start using AT rifles again when we have things like man portable AT rockets, ATGMs, and recoiless rifles(Carl Gustav) that are much more effective?

>implying robo-drones will be a thing on the ground before powered armor and mini-mecha when most countries are still afraid to even use remote controlled turrets on tanks

Based slavshits will make the first mass produced murderbots, they already made a humanoid robot that can shoot guns.
