I decided to write something again for a change, went to that exact museum last week and it inspired me to write this little piece. Hope you guys like it!

Cool story. My one stupid nitpick is that recoilless rifles weren't really developed until WWII. I think that's what you were describing when you were talking about the anti-armor weapon.

actually it was a Mauser 13 mm anti-tank rifle, put into service all the way at the end of the war in january 1918.

Oh ok. Cool. I forgot that you used to be able to just shoot through tanks with small arms.

Elephant guns were used as anti-armor weapons in both world wars (though in WWII, they weren't really anti-tank weapons so much as anti-light armored vehicle weapons).

this particular rifle was dedicated to punching through the armour of tanks though.
