Anti material rifle

It is made to destroy material

Small nitpick, but it’s actually spelled “materiel” when referring to military equipment. It’s based on the French word. The rifle is an anti-materiel gun, meant to penetrate non-hardened military materiel.

As in food and other supplies on a relatively soft target like a convoy. Didn't stop my high school classmates from twisting "they shoot at vehicles with it" to "they shoot out engines with it"

I mean a 12.7 in the engine is still going to ruin the performance.

Pedantic point: it's anti-materiEl, not anti-materiAl. Materiel in a military context refers to hardware, such as vehicles.
