Anti material rifle

It is made to destroy material

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Small nitpick, but it’s actually spelled “materiel” when referring to military equipment. It’s based on the French word. The rifle is an anti-materiel gun, meant to penetrate non-hardened military materiel.

As in food and other supplies on a relatively soft target like a convoy. Didn't stop my high school classmates from twisting "they shoot at vehicles with it" to "they shoot out engines with it"

I mean a 12.7 in the engine is still going to ruin the performance.

Pedantic point: it's anti-materiEl, not anti-materiAl. Materiel in a military context refers to hardware, such as vehicles.
