In Tobruk, you had to be desperate to shoot at a tank with this thing -- b/c it meant that, provided it had no better target, the tank could also shoot at YOU. Unless you were well dug-in, you were quickly toast. I used the Boys mostly against prime movers and any command car that was stupid enough to blunder into (the rifle's pretty short) effective range. Usually, German off-board batteries would lay smoke on my Brits, tho, until the panzers broke out of it 3 hexes (225m) from my pos.

Puts me in mind of the old Avalon Hill boardgame, Tobruk. The Boys ATR was a prominent part of most scenarios' British order-of-battle in the early days of the '41-'42 campaign (Gazala battles). BTW, in the game it can break a track or mess up up the target's optics given a very lucky hit, but IIRC bounces off any armor (even side armor) thicker than that of an Italian M-13/40. TONS of dice...

@phantom12321 The Boys rifle can be gotten for sums closer to the $4,500. range, less if its been dewatted. The .55 ammo isnt illegal, but there probably isnt alot of it left. .50 cal brass can be used it reworked to hold the .55 bullet, and would certainly work for blanks. Conversion to .50 cal is a popular mod, if for nothing more than taking the gun out of NFA rules. (lots of paperwork, and red tape)

@WarGamerHistorian The bazooka was not the recoiless rifle they were two very different things.

I'm a WWII reenactor who depicts the British Army, specifically in the BEF. I would love to get my hands on one of these. Most have been sleeved for .50 cal as .55 is both unavailable and illegal (deemed a destructive device). They go for 8-10K though and my hobby dollars are nowhere near that.

You're welcome, it's from a DVD "Walt Disney On the Front Lines". Worth checking out if you're interested in this stuff.
If you haven't yet you should look for Der Fuhrer's Face on youtube, it's another great video like this one.
