	Anti-tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the end of the war a number of light guns, typically 37 mm (a 2 pounder in British measure) were being deployed on short carriages that proved to be considerably better.
		The "average" gun by 1943 was 50 mm or larger, the Germans had an excellent 50 mm high velocity design, while the British introduced the "6-pounder" which was also adopted by the US Army as the 57 mm.
		As the guns grew in size they dropped in mobility, leading to the development of the anti-tank vehicle, typically a tank chassis with a much larger gun mounted on top.

	Antitank weapons used by the Finns in the Winter War, Part 1
		In 30 October 1936, the gun was accepted as the primary AT-weapon for the Finnish Defense Forces, and the license was bought.
		For the Finnish produced guns, the optics had to be bought from abroad, so for financial reasons, they fought the Winter War relying on their collimators.
		As the fate of the country was being settled, roughly half of the 40 guns were hurried to the fronts.

		The tapered-bore 28/20-mm gun, s.Pz.B. The airborne 28/20-mm antitank gun.
		Since many of the latter types of self-propelled guns are in use today, it may be said that there are as many types of German self-propelled antitank guns as there are possible combinations of guns and chassis.
		Since many antitank guns of obsolete models still are in service, the Germans have introduced the stick bomb, another development of the hollow charge, in an effort to make the most of such equipment.

	On German Antitank Artillery
		The 1930's concept of an antitank gun was a weapon which was light (for mobility), small (for concealibility) and still capable of penetrating the armor of the current generation of tanks.
		During the war, antitank guns increased in size relative to the increased size of the tanks it was expected to defeat.
		This class of weapon was so successfully developed and deployed that by the end of the war, the large caliber antitank guns lost their former importance as troops relied on these simpler, but very effective weapons.

		Their structure was also somewhat unique: Wheels of the gun could be removed and front part of gun put on top of a plate-like foot, this gave carriage a three point stand that was both stable and low, making spotting and hitting the gun more difficult for the enemy.
