+Anti-tank guns are direct-fire weapons designed to defeat tanks and other armored vehicles, typically by firing armor-piercing or shaped-charge ammunition at comparatively flat trajectories. They range from traditional towed anti-tank artillery pieces to recoilless guns (often called recoilless rifles) that trade a sealed breech for reduced recoil in order to keep the weapon portable. By the Vietnam War era, many armies relied more on portable recoilless weapons and rockets for anti-armor work, but gun-type anti-tank weapons remained useful for engaging light armor and for direct fire against bunkers and fighting positions.

+==DEFINITION & CHARACTERISTICS==
-service=youtube
+“Anti-tank gun” is a functional category: it refers to a gun-type weapon intended to destroy or disable armored fighting vehicles using direct fire. Historically this includes towed anti-tank artillery, and in the post–World War II period it also commonly includes portable recoilless guns that filled similar roles with lighter launchers and shaped-charge ammunition.

+* '''Typical fire modes:''' Single-shot, crew-served direct fire; rate of fire depends on crew drill, ammunition handling, and weapon type.

+* '''Typical feeding:''' Breech-loaded fixed or semi-fixed ammunition for towed guns; many recoilless guns use fixed rounds with vented/perforated cases (design varies).
