Very cool! I've been toying with adding an anti-tank rifle to my US TOE. We often forget that the legendary 'Ma Deuce' M2 Browning .50 cal machine gun was originally designed (in 1922) as an Anti-tank gun! Of course in the face of the Martian invasion, Browning brings out the M2 a dozen years early. That's why the US machine guns have a +1 power rating  |

Germans were using tungsten core machine gun ammunition during WW-1.

I believe this is the rifle of the US armored infantry. |

I rate the regulars Heavy Machine Gun as a 30 caliber and have a +2 POW 50 caliber as a different weapon - see my various TO&Es and OOBs for deployment of this one.
I really like the look of this weapon you found - could very well be looked upon as the sniper weapon in the game.

Cool gun. Like the image.
Some folks said, tongue in cheek, that anyone who used a boyes anti tank rifle should rate a VC. It had quite a kick.
The Browning 50 caliber MG was and still is an anti armor weapon. When behind a Machine Duece you are technically shooting at the equipment the enemy is wearing. Anything short of a tank on the 21st century battlefield is vulnerable to H2M2.
If I recall correctly, both the BAR and the H2M2 were withheld from service in WWI due to fear of them being captured and reverse engineered. No such problem with Marvin.
