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”
Anti material rifle
It is made to destroy material

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