@lilblitz It was a high velocity 20 mm in real life, and it did its job by breaking armor, send shards of metal into the tank, and after getting through, causing damage to machinery, and casualties among the crew. Mind you that this was 70 + yrs ago when tanks were very thinly armored <25mm These guns were used in the years before the Bazooka etc. were issued, and after for other work.
@lilblitz Not against modern NATO tanks, but the older cold war tanks this rifle could still cause some damage to the less protected exterior equipment, but there are many better weapons for that these days. But if its all you had, and were willing to get close enough (scary thought) you could do in sights, or cripple the main gun if you could get a good hit on the tube, which is fairly thin towards the end. Today only good for light armor like BTR, LAV, stryker, etc.
@atoasttothefallen2 Depends why it was done. about half of the 1,000 guns were drilled up into the chamber, and into the receiver roof from the trunnion .a 3/4 " hole which was plugged, and welded, then another pug was welded over it. not visible from the outside, but preventing the rifle from being restored as the receiver was not strong enough to stand the pressure. The .50BMG conversion will allow the gun to work again, as that is all the thing would then stand.
If your going to fire a weapon that obviously your under quilified to get your facts straight it is a 20mm lahti not a 50 I carried a m82 50 for 2yrs and have owned one for 5yrs now
@NarowAR07 All of the original 1,000 rifles were in shootable condition, and still in their 20x138B cailber. it wasn't until they were here that conversions were done. These were done to restore a drilled gun to operation, (about half of them were de-watted by drilling a big hole in the receiver) so this was the only thing one could do to get them firing again. Others were converted because of ammo availability, or to resurrect an un papered gun after the 1968 registration amnesty.
@SchlipDawg you are thinking of the Boys a.t. rifle which is a .55 cal. and is bolt action, as well as half the size of the rifle in the clip. As to getting one, If you are a citizen the U.S. and there is one available in your home State that is for sale then you may be in luck. otherwise you'll need the services of a destructive device dealer to get one for you. Next, you have to be 21, and be able to pass muster in the transfer process, and have a boat load of cash.
@keep6cans If I'm reading your comment correctly, 15mm is larger than the 12.7 mm of the .50BMG. The rifle in the video is a 20mm rifle that has been converted to fire the .50BMG. (12.7x99) 20mm is between .78-and .79 cal.
@MrManuel91 This type of rifle was brought into use prior to the development of the shaped charge weapons you mentioned. This particular gun has been converted from 20mm to .50 cal. as a 20 mm it used a solid steel shot munition for anti tank work.
Yes that is a Finnish 20mm anit-tank rifle, it was used during the Winter War of 1939-1940 to take out Soviet tanks. Notice the skis on the bi-pop? That is for easy transport through the snow.
@hedonismrocks Depends on what type of ammo being used. if a.p., its jacketed steel with an incendiary in the nose. and while it will go off when it hits something, its not really explosive. the steel core goes right on through.
Aren't military grade weapons like this off limits to the general public ? These are weapons used in military engagements and should only be seen either on a battlefield or military base during shooting excercises.
@Bradgilliswhammyman The United States codes would disagree. Private ownership of firearms of all kinds has been the right of the american Citizen from the beginning. So, as long as any citizen of the required age can pass muster on the paperwork, they can legally possess whatever type of firearm they wish. (assuming they can afford to pay for it.)
@beardo52 lol priceless.....your in your 50s arent you ?....thought i wouldnt see mother jokes commin from someone your stature....sign of a desperate man..keep it commin troll as i dont go back over seas for another few weeks...you hang out on this page and a few others 24/7 = troll...more plz...
@Wildcat425B Since you are a U.S. Citizen, you need only wait till you're 21 before you too can own such a fine piece of history. Once you wade through the paperwork, then you can take home your prize, effulgent with pride in your freedom.
@Hmoood96 Its very old, (70) it was primarily used against Soviet tanks of the late 30's, later it was used against bunkers, people, and aircraft, and anything else they figured it would work on.
@Hmoood96 The 50 calibe bullet when leaving the rifle has enough power to snap a tank's treads, destroy any machine gun that might be on top of it, and I believe even dent the barrel, all of which will disable the tank in some way, if not altogether. If the sniper can manage shoot inside the forward gunner's position some of the older tanks had, it could kill some of the crew inside. They now often call them Anti-Materiel Rifles due their destructive capabilities on just about anything they hit.
@nickbaldus It's Lahti and it's Finnish. You got the cartridge right though. On the second thought, they might've modified it to shoot .50cal rounds since the original 20mm's are quite hard to come by.
If you want to read further you can check its wikipedia article under the name "Lahti L-39".
@nickbaldus The weapon is also called the "norsupyssy" which means 'elephant gun' in Finnish. For an AT weapon it wasn't paricularly good at defeating armour, but you can tell that to the Russian snipers it was, in fact, used against.
@beardo52 i remember that i saw a footage of this weapon in some ww2 scene ... you were right but in the footage it was German Tanks not Soviet could it be stolen...?
@xXJustinBernardXx The Fins sided with the reich against the Soviets early on, for the help they would get in driving the Soviets back. Later, they took the Allied side, against the Reich. Some rifles were lost to the Soviets, and perhaps they used them against the Reich. but there were many different models of anti tank rifles. This one is a Lahti L-39, used 20mm ammo, this one was converted to .50 cal.
Yes, this gun was used in first Soviet-Finland war 1939, against light tank. When USSR start use T-34 & KV-2 in 1941 it's become fully useless against modern tanks. But Finland continue use this as anti-sniper rifle
@bloodlust177 they are perfectly legal aslong as you dont live in a shitty state like california where you need an ffl to own one of these but most of the usa these are legal alot are in 50 cal as any higher is a destructive device where you have to go through the NFA and pay the extortion tax
@savage495 It was built long after WW I, and although a number of tanks in the early parts of WW II were holdovers, or older designs, that is not strictly true.
@dtiydr Was never meant to, the gun is 70 yrs old, the tanks it was meant for had armor of between 6mm and 20 mm depending on the model. It was built by Finland as an infantry weapon for use against Soviet tanks of the time,1939. (see: BT-5,BT-7, and T-26.) The L-39 was built in the caliber 20x138mm. the 5+ oz. alloy steel shot gave 40,000 Ft.Lb @ 2,800 fps.
@beardo52 yeah but this one is not a lahti....its a 50 cal conversion that i have seen done on many original lahtis in order to own one more...leagally....
@zooders A conversion does not make it something else, its still a Lahti. Its a common enough conversion as several hundred were drilled, and this conversion is the most it will then stand. Some have been converted to drop them from the destructive device list,so there is no form 4 paperwork to do (but only if the conversion is permanent) Some were done to legitimize guns not papered during the 1968 amnesty, I know the story, I've owned one for 35 yrs.
@0willsy01 Germany's use of armor was more important than the vehicles they used. the employment of radios in every vehicle gave them a distinct advantage over most of the others who used radios only in cammand tanks. Very sound tactics, very capable leadership. In the beginning anyway. They had some good ideas with the Panther, and tigers, but Germany's industrial base had been so erroded by then that it couldn't produce the quality of machines they might have wished. (slave labor didnt help)
@0willsy01 The L-39 was meant to fight soviet tanks of the 1930's which were very thinly armored. See BT-5, BT-7, and T-26. Finland was aligned with Germany against the Soviets for the part of the War where these rifles were used against tanks.
German tanks were not that great, PZK I had 7-13mm armor, PZK II(early) had 10-14mm. Latest model, F had 20-35mm.
PZK III 5-15mm Early, increased to30mm in the mid models. Only in the later III's did Germany catch a clue.
@beardo52 You're absolutely right. When the Brits showed up in North Africa with the Sherman the Germans had nothing to put against it. Obviously by the time the allies landed on the continent things had changed.
An anti tank rifle gunner would shoot bullets into the engine, He would also try to hit the ammo box of the tank which would make the tank blow itself up. tanks have weak armor between the wheels and at the rear.
So this thing can literally punch through tank armor? To hit the guys inside? I would have thought there would be more recoil on something this powerful.
may i ask how it is used to incapacitate a tank?

Why is it called "anti-tank gun" ? Can the bullet really pass thru a tank armor ? its hard to believe ...

@MrBilbo13 only a WW1 tank
savage495 4 months ago
@savage495 It was built long after WW I, and although a number of tanks in the early parts of WW II were holdovers, or older designs, that is not strictly true.

@dtiydr Was never meant to, the gun is 70 yrs old, the tanks it was meant for had armor of between 6mm and 20 mm depending on the model. It was built by Finland as an infantry weapon for use against Soviet tanks of the time,1939. (see: BT-5,BT-7, and T-26.) The L-39 was built in the caliber 20x138mm. the 5+ oz. alloy steel shot gave 40,000 Ft.Lb @ 2,800 fps.

@beardo52 Aha, starting to wonder there for a minute but 70 years old? Dam, insane that it had the capabillity to go through 20 mm.
dtiydr 4 months ago
@dtiydr It will go through a bit more than 20 mm 40,000Ft.Lbs is alot of energy.

@beardo52 yeah but this one is not a lahti....its a 50 cal conversion that i have seen done on many original lahtis in order to own one more...leagally....

@zooders A conversion does not make it something else, its still a Lahti. Its a common enough conversion as several hundred were drilled, and this conversion is the most it will then stand. Some have been converted to drop them from the destructive device list,so there is no form 4 paperwork to do (but only if the conversion is permanent) Some were done to legitimize guns not papered during the 1968 amnesty, I know the story, I've owned one for 35 yrs.

@0willsy01 Germany's use of armor was more important than the vehicles they used. the employment of radios in every vehicle gave them a distinct advantage over most of the others who used radios only in cammand tanks. Very sound tactics, very capable leadership. In the beginning anyway. They had some good ideas with the Panther, and tigers, but Germany's industrial base had been so erroded by then that it couldn't produce the quality of machines they might have wished. (slave labor didnt help)

@0willsy01 The L-39 was meant to fight soviet tanks of the 1930's which were very thinly armored. See BT-5, BT-7, and T-26. Finland was aligned with Germany against the Soviets for the part of the War where these rifles were used against tanks.
German tanks were not that great, PZK I had 7-13mm armor, PZK II(early) had 10-14mm. Latest model, F had 20-35mm.
PZK III 5-15mm Early, increased to30mm in the mid models. Only in the later III's did Germany catch a clue.
The IVA had 5-15mm IVH 80mm

@beardo52 You're absolutely right. When the Brits showed up in North Africa with the Sherman the Germans had nothing to put against it. Obviously by the time the allies landed on the continent things had changed.

An anti tank rifle gunner would shoot bullets into the engine, He would also try to hit the ammo box of the tank which would make the tank blow itself up. tanks have weak armor between the wheels and at the rear.

Gun noob here.
So this thing can literally punch through tank armor? To hit the guys inside? I would have thought there would be more recoil on something this powerful.
ponybcurtis 4 months ago
@ponybcurtis To hit the engine I suppose.
Not all the recoil is directed into the shoulder, and if there's enough velocity on the round it'll punch a tank.
