About PTRD-41 :
The PTRD is a Soviet anti-tank rifle. It is a single shot, bolt-action rifle, firing the massive 14.5x114mm round. While not very effective against heavy armor, it is very effective against lightly armored vehicles and you can carry more ammunition.
History :
In 1939, the Soviets captured a polish AT rifle which proved effective when used against the German Invasion of Poland. Vasily Degtyaryov (The designer of several Soviet weapons, such as the PPD-40 and DP-28) copied various functions of both the Panzerbuchse 38 (German equivalent) and the Model 35 (Polish version) .

The only downsides of this weapon were its size (weighing more than 17 kg without ammunition) and its massive muzzle blast. This round was able to penetrate 40mm of armor at a distance of 100m, although it suffered issues with its tungsten-cored ammunition simply shattering on occasion due to the extreme impact from its obscene 3,320 feet per second muzzle velocity. While the PTRD was typically utilized in two-man crews (a loader and a gunner), it could be easily operated by a single man under the presumption that he wouldn't need to move very far with the gun's excessive weight.
