  2. That is the German tank killer. It is just a hair over 50 cal. They had all kinds of ammo for it. Everything from armor piercing, high accuracy long distance snipper loads, and a fragmenting round.

  3. Well, that was fascinating- and she never ever mentioned what she was firing, or what the caliber was.

    It's a heavy rifle, and it's from WWI; does anybody have anything to add- like what it is?

    1. Nevermind, I found it: it's a 1918 T-Gewehr, a 13mm anti-tank rifle that weighs 41 pounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_1918_T-Gewehr

      I'm amazed that Mae can fire that beast, with it's no doubt wicked recoil, and laugh! If I tried, I'd probably end up in hospital with broken bones!
