Gila I think you are right, the MC and jeep must be close in vulnerability; which is probably how it should be. I wasn't aware that the MC was better over rough terrain, but that makes sense.

John, I recall reading about an inquiry during the war, to discover if the Boys had KO'd any TANKS, and this limited (perhaps division sized) investigation couldn't find a single example. Which may have been part of the motivation to find a replacement in the PIAT.

However, I have read that Britain supplied the Boys to Finland and it was used effectively in the Winter War against light Russian tanks. I've also read about light Japanese tanks being KO'd by the Boys.

But I guess calling it an "anti-tank" rifle was a bit optimistic by 1942.
