Kill a Light Tank or Snipe a Soldier-use Your ATR

Taking aim on a lightly armored vehicle, this Afrika Korps anti-tank Rifle team (ATR), has an excellent chance to take the APC out if action. Alternatively, the range and killing power of the ATR makes it a deadly snipers' weapon in the hand of a good marksman.

Ranging in size from 7.9 mm to 20mm (.311 to .787 inches), the ATR was a standard weapon in most armies at the start of the 2nd World War, the US Army being a notable exception. The constantly increasing thickness of tank armor quickly made ATRs obsolete in their anti-tank role. But they continued to be used by some troops till the end of the war.

                      This is a scratch-built unit that I made and painted in 2021.
