Are you serious? He would scream like a little girl.
You know why? Because he is immune to freaking out (as long, as he has plain sight to a empty locker ofc).
I've actually shot both, I certainly do not recommend if you are a little guy, the PTRS is a 14.5x114 and the PKM is a 7.62x54. But if you are then I recommend putting most of your weight on your front foot for the PTRS and more or less the same for the PKM but fire that in short bursts
Literally noone asked you for this info. The conversation was on a completely different topic.
You might as well have went "I'm a vegan guise". Would have induced the same amount of cringe with less effort
You know, a battle tanke without optics or with destroyed turret hydraulics or a hole in the engine is not combat ready anymore. Besides: there are more vehicles on a battlefield than a tank.
And yes....against cover, it should be usefuel too.
That one looks like an old possibly WWII era ATT rifle so, I doubt it'd do much against let's say a T-72. The thinnest armor on the T-72 is around 80mm (this is without angling included) and I doubt your rifle has more than let's say 50mm of penetration. You say you could mess up the turret hydrolics or the optics and I say you better be a damn good shot and good luck. There's a reason why AT rifles were fazed out to use explosive weapons like RPG's or STINGER missiles. I'm using the T-72 as the example as the man above is Ukranian and the T-72 is a Russian MBT so it makes sense.
I'm surprised no one has said this yet, but if you're targeting a T-72 with an FIM-92 stinger , you're going to be surprised. It's a surface to air missile
What the man in the .gif above is using is NOT a an anzio 20mm, it looks like a PTRS-41, which I'd think would be obvious as the Anzio is magazine fed and the weapon above is being breech loaded. At several kilometers range you're rinky dink rifle is going to lose alot of it's velocity and with that penetration, which it ALREADY doesn't have very much of!
I commented on general use of anti tank rifles. That a WW2 gun is obsolet 70 years later is kinda obvious. So I dont know why you felt you needed to go in detail between a PTRS-41 vs. T72. It makes absolutley no sense.
Because that's what they'd actually be using, and I doubt even your Anzio 20mm could do anything useful against a modern tank. They changed the name from Anti Tank Rifle to Anti Materiel Rifle for a reason, they're useless against modern tanks.
As I pointed out they are not useless. What I said is actually pretty much standard sniper training. They even target tank optics and vital mechanics with even smaller rifles.
And please read my comment again, I also said that there are more vehicles on a battlefield then tanks which you can use the rifle against. So please read first and then comment. Otherwise you look like an idiot.
If you're gonna be taking out tank optics you're gonna pretty much have to be within RPG range anyways, snipers can be proficient at hitting human sized targets at around 1000~ yards or 900~ meters, now we shrink that down to about the size of tank optics (I'd wager around a hockey puck or a dinner plate at best this is also assuming it's not moving.) and I'm gonna at least halve that effective range so around 500~ yards or 450~ meters and you take the RPG-29 which using a FCU and tripod can fire and remain effective up to around ~900 meters. Even using a RPG-7 you can destroy a tank at ranges of 200~ meters Assuming they don't have reactive plate armor. which isn't that much shorter than your 20mm sniper round.
turret hydrolics down=totally ****** up
optics down=totally ****** up
1 engine down=totally ****** up (some tanks have twin engines)
other neat things to **** up may include but are not limited to:
destroy the guns heat shielding (makes the gun warp in unpredictable ways, making it inaccurate)
damage the loading mechanism
damage the ammo rack *this one is especially spectacular to **** up*
damage the tracks
damage the fuel tanks
damage the fire suppression system
damage the bogies or tortion bars of the suspension
basically there are many fascinating ways to totally **** up a tank... and most of them dont even include explosions or injuring the crew, simply disabling the vehicle though obviously that`s an option too if you have a big enough gun
You need to have some pretty serious balls, because most tanks rely on up to 3 different weapon platforms, normally 2 of those are very heavy weapons, like 50. cal machine gun and a 120mm cannon.
And there's like 2 to 3 hatches, and plenty of mirrors usable for spotting.
Even if you managed to damage steel tracks, and the suspension, you're in for a world of hurt, because you just catched a beast that can still breathe fire.
so you can target optics and hydraulics 2000 yards away? i dont think so.
A tank is far from an indestructible machine, I know this, i served in a danish leopard2 tank squadron.
Sand is the number 1 track killer though, not att rifles. I've heard of 1 mobility kill in Afghanistan on a challenger tank, and the crew still managed to get it in reverse after 10 RPG hits, and drive to safety.
If I encountered an enemy MBT as part of an infantry company without heavy weapons, I would wait for it to pass instead of engaging and possibly lose.
If i remember correctly, the PTRS-41 is a extremely inaccurate weapon that required the solider to stand just few meters away too actually just hit the tank.
And shooting tanks is not the only usage or anti-material rounds flying downrange. Have someone shoot anti-material rounds at you for a while and you'll see that not only are they still effective in war, they are some of the MOST effective things infantry can be using in war.
God damn. Not even a flinch, a conditioned response, ******* nothing. How many grenades do you have to hear explode before you start to don't give a **** anymore?
I love how a ******* artillery shell lands nearby, and he just goes ahead takes another puff from his cigarette with that ''Oh, neat...'' expression, like it doesn't concern him. ******* balls of steel.
