Panzerbüchse is German for ‘anti-tank rifle’ but the sPzB 41 was effectively a small anti-tank gun with its own carriage and crew. This remarkable gun was designed on the ‘squeeze bore’ principle, with the bore reducing from 28mm to 20mm, propelling the shell to a much higher velocity than with a conventional anti-tank gun. This, combined with tungsten core ammunition, gave the sPzB 41 remarkable armour penetration at short ranges – though performance dropped off rapidly.

A variety of rifles were used for sniping, including the standard KAR-98K and the semi-automatic Gewehr 43, all fitted with the high quality ZF39 telescopic sight, and equipped with precision-manufactured ammunition.
