the Anti Tank Rifle Lahti-L39

The Lahti L-39 is a heavy, semi-automatic anti-tank rifle from Finland, developed during World War II. It was designed by Aimo Lahti and was initially intended to combat light tanks and armored vehicles.

Features of the Lahti L-39:

Caliber: 20 × 138 mm B (also known as 20 mm anti-aircraft ammunition).

Weight: Approximately 50 kg (110 lbs), making it one of the heavier anti-tank rifles.

Length: 2.24 meters (7 ft 4 in).

Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds.

Effective Range: Up to 1,500 meters (4,900 ft).

Notable Feature: Its semi-automatic operation allowed for a faster rate of fire compared to other anti-tank rifles of the era.

Despite its impressive firepower, it was cumbersome to transport and operate due to its size and weight. After World War II, the L-39 was often repurposed as an anti-aircraft weapon or for other specialized roles.
