Description

During WWII, anti-tank rifles were used by Russian infantry to counter German tanks. One such rifle was the "ProtivoTankovoye Ruzhyo Degtyaryova" otherwise known as the "PTRD". The single shot PTRD fired a 14.5mm shell and had an effective range up to 800m. PTRD teams often hid amongst destroyed buildings waiting to knock out its next victim.
