This video delves into the Swiss Tankbuchse 41 (TB-41), a 24x139mm semi-automatic anti-tank rifle developed by Adolph Furrer for Waffenfabrik Bern. Originally intended for light tanks, the TB-41 featured a short recoil toggle-locked action, similar to Furrer's other designs. It fired both high-explosive and armor-piercing rounds with impressive velocity and penetration capabilities for its time. The rifle was designed for rapid fire, utilizing 6-round magazines that auto-ejected. Despite its advanced design and production of over 3,500 units, the TB-41 never saw combat and was largely relegated to fortress use. The video explores its specifications, operational mechanics, and historical context.
