    Rather than moving, people turned on the spot to see me hurtling towards them.

      Also grenades were used, and the Geballte Ladung ("Bunched Grenade"), basically several regular grenades bound together. Tanks were also vulnerable to artillery and mortars, especially if they became stuck, which was no miracle at the time with difficult terrain and barbed wire, and they could be targeted more easily.

          By the end of the war, a number of light guns, typically 37 mm (in British terms "2-pounder")[1], were being deployed on short carriages that proved to be considerably better. In addition most forces deployed large high-velocity rifles, typically of .50 cal (12.7 mm), with enough power to puncture the thin armor of the tanks of the era.

            I held my bag out slightly, all the better to use as a battering ram.

                Anti-tank guns are guns designed to destroy armored vehicles. In order to penetrate the armor of tanks and other armored vehicles they fire high-velocity shells.

                  A few grunts from passers by indicated that the bag had served it's purpose.

                      Prior to World War II, anti-tank guns were relatively small, with anti-tank rifles primarily used for destroying tanks. Few had calibres larger than 50 mm. With the rapid improvement in tank armor and guns, anti-tank guns increased in calibre, firing larger shells at greater velocities.
