Re: BOYS ANTI-TANK RIFLE RB-1

Abhijeet, is there any way of condensing the width of this thread ? I know that it`s because of the picture files being ridiculously oversize but trying to read things as it is currently set-up is a thorough pain. The picture files could be dramatically condensed as they don`t need all that bandwidth.

Afraid not Grumpy/ Sujay.... the pictures are not hosted on the IFG server, but have been posted using the [IMG] tag. Therefore there is no way for me to set the system to resize the pictures.

This method does have the distinct advantage of not using our hosting space or bandwidth and therefore is the one we usually recommend members to use when posting images here. But the resizing must be done by the member before they upload these pictures to photobucket.com or wherever else they choose to host the images.

Sorry for not being able to be of much help in this case.

Cheers!

The anti material rifles that the Indian Army has acquired have been deployed along the LOC mainly to be used against enemy fortified positions/bunkers.

Significance of "only two in the world" is probably the caliber, in the original German 13.2 mm instead of being the British belted .55 Boys. Cheers
