Bolt Action – Germany – Afrika Korps Weapons Teams

Description

Product Code: 402212013

Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams and anti-tank teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.

Panzerbchse 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.
