The Soviet “Ridiculous” Rifle That Turned Into Germany’s Worst Nightmare
Winter, 1941.
As German tanks thundered toward Moscow, Soviet soldiers reached for whatever weapons they had — even a two-meter-long rifle that looked more like a pipe than a gun.
They called it the PTRD-41, and at first, everyone laughed.
It kicked like a mule.
It was so heavy that soldiers dragged it through the snow on sleds.
But when the trigger was pulled, that “ridiculous” rifle spat out a 14.5mm bullet that could tear through a Panzer’s armor like paper.
Soon, the laughter stopped.
PTRD teams would ambush tanks from basements, forests, and even beneath bridges — turning crude steel into terror.
By 1943, German crews had a name for it: “The Door Knocker from Hell.”
This is the story of the gun no one believed in — until it started cracking open tanks like tin cans
