20 mm Anti Tank Rifle's, Not Just for Tanks



When designed in the 1930's the type 97  20mm ATR was able to penetrate the frontal armor of most of the Worlds tanks. Even though by the time of  the Second World War, medium tank armor quickly became to much for every nations ATR's, they  still had their uses. They were very effective vs lightly armored cars, halftracks and soft skinned vehicles. While not as accurate as sniper rifles, their range and stopping power made them quiet deadly against individual troops. 
This Japanese SNLF (Special Naval Landing Force) ATR team is plastic from Warlord that I painted in 2019.
