Video from a battle in the Kayar State in February of 2022 shows members of an anti-junta faction utilizing a historic anti-tank rifle that is commonly known as the "Boys."

The Boys Anti-Tank Rifle, known for its massive .55 caliber rounds, is a beast of a weapon from World War II. It packs a punch that even the boys would be proud of. With its hefty weight and powerful recoil, it demands a certain level of strength and determination to wield. But hey, when Saturday is for the boys, who needs a gym membership, right?

This rifle is all about taking down armored vehicles and showing them who's boss. Its design may not be the prettiest, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and when it comes to stopping armor in their tracks, the Boys rifle has all the charm it needs.

Next time you think about boys being boys, just remember, sometimes they're out there with a mighty rifle, making holes in armor like a G.
