W.W.1 German 13mm Anti-Tank Rifle

I think .22 would be harder than a full size cartridge. I'd use something in a common cartridge, maybe a large winchester caliber that's available in brass at least, and cast bullets. Even a gas check bullet maybe. That way the bullet would engage the barrel and you don't need a long chamber adapter. Just cartridge length...and a reamer for the adapter. It could be done.

Nice gun Ed!

Nice Image!

A VERY sad image...

Just for interest, the machine gunner and anti tank rifleman (and sentry) would oftem wear the 'body armour' set.

These armour sets come in at least 4 different patterns. This image is rather good with armour lying in the trench!

I'm thinking the accuracy is going to be affected somewhat by that little "wow" in the barrel.... Judging by the weight of the barrels on those T Gewehrs, that one must have either gotten run over by a tank, or else been too close to an artillery round. OUCH!

I see the rounds periodically, about once or twice a year. When I had a T-Gewehr I was neither brave enough nor wasteful enough to shoot it. The rounds usually go for $50-100 each.
