	TRANSITIONAL ANTI-TANK RIFLE: THE CARL GUSTAV M/42
		The first of the breed was the Mauser M1918, a huge bolt-action rifle based around a big 13mm cartridge, firing a bullet about four times heavier than the standard 7.92mm rifle at a similar muzzle velocity.
		The best of the rifles - the high-velocity 14.5mm Soviet guns and the biggest of the 20mm cannon - were capable of penetrating up to 40mm of armour plate at short range, but this performance fell off rapidly with distance and even more as the striking angle departed from the vertical.
		This was gradually eroded by gas pressure and had to be replaced after each twenty AP rounds were fired, and after each forty HE and practice rounds (the AP rounds were loaded to a higher pressure); the state of wear of this plate affected the muzzle velocity.
