Anti-tank rifles are complex, but this one is especially so. Jonathan Ferguson looks at an early model of the Panzerbüchse that was ultimately superseded. The Panzerbüchse 38 anti-tank rifle.

To mark the 100th episode of What is this Weapon, the Royal Armouries hosted a special live episode at our flagship museum in Leeds in the UK.

It is a single-shot .22 rimfire bolt action system, on which the trigger was replaced by a thumb-activated sear behind the bolt.
