What can /k/ tell me about this anti-tank gun?

>>34876674
It kills tanks dead.

>>34876674
Too anemic for german tanks.
Works well on Panzerkamphwagen and Armored cars though. Also apparently works on low flying aircraft and bunkers.

Suitable for use on many Japanese tanks though.

Are you retarded? It's a GERMAN gun!

> The design was based on a tapering barrel, with the caliber reducing from 28 mm at the chamber end to only 20 mm at the muzzle. The projectile carried two external flanges; as it proceeded toward the muzzle, the flanges were squeezed down, decreasing the diameter with the result that pressure did not drop off as quickly and the projectile was propelled to a higher velocity. The barrel construction resulted in a very high muzzle velocity - up to 1,400 m/s.

It was completely garbage unlike other AT rifles

I personaly like it. It just screams CUTE.
It is a gimmick weapon at best, tho it was capable to penetrate the KV-1's armor. Had an HE shell that was as powerful as a handgrenade. The barrel was only good for like 500 shots. I say it's a nice Para weapon.

But isn't it clearly the best AT rifle for killing tanks?

It's a lot better than an anti-gun tank.

>retard thinks the schwere Panzerbüchse 41 is to weak to do friendly fire on its own tanks

There was no 'best' AT rifle. That's like deciding which one legged man runs fastest.

You're a faggot.

>>34876674
It's a big gun.

>>34876856
Panzerkampfwagen is just the full name of any panzer i.e. every German tank

>>34876856
Great post.

>squeeze bore

Ded barrel

Though I remember reading it got a kill on a KV-2 and turned it into a bonfire

> low flying bunkers

>>34881074
Some times bunkers only achieve low earth orbit and you have to shoot them again to get them to fly into the sun

>>34876674
The squeeze bore design gave it fairly impressive performance for such a small package, but like the other German taper bore weapons, it was let down by anemic HE performance, short barrel life, high unit cost and Germany's lack of access to wolframite (tungsten ore) which meant ammo production ground to a halt and rounds became rarer than rocking horse shit.

Looks cool as shit tho.

>>34876674
That it would be easier to commit sodoku using your rifle instead of taking on a tank with that thing.
