Actualy the antitank rifle was used in Korea as well by the Chicoms as a long range sniper weapon.

I also remember reading about the soviet antitank rifles at Kursk. And some tanks would have several holes in their vehicles so stopping was not done.

On a T2K note,

I have just added an NPC who has a modified Soviet antitank rifle, just so he can have the benefit of a very heavy round to deal with vehicles and such at roadblocks, as well as taking pot shots at enemy forces who are in fortifications.

You must admit, sometimes a few well placed rounds of something heavy is what is called for, not a burst from a machinegun or a larger round or a rocket launcher. And since the round is found with Ivans heavy MGs it is fairly easy to get.

Modifications my NPC made was a modern bipod, a thick buttpad for the stock and a folding stock with built in shock absorber and of course a muzzlegreak and a few inches of the barrel has been cut off for portability.
