Anti-material rifles

An anti-materiel rifle is a rifle designed to be used primarily against equipment.

Currently, most modern armored vehicles have armor that no rifle can penetrate, however, anti-material rifles can destroy unarmored light vehicles, stationary aircraft, small boats and ground equipment such as radars or missile launchers.

These types of rifles can fulfill roles similar to sniper rifles, generally firing 12.7 mm caliber cartridges, using bipods and muzzle brakes.
