Critic Consensus

The Boys rifle and its solid-core, pointed bullet would penetrate armored vehicles of the late 1930s and possibly the Japanese variety. But, it was exceptionally awkward and heavy to carry. Recoil was described as murderous, severe, terrifying and other less-printable adjectives. Limited numbers of the monster bolt guns were procured for U.S. forces, and the Raiders apparently got some.

Royal Small Arms Factory Boys Anti-Tank Riffle Description

The Rifle, Anti-Tank, .55in, Boys commonly known as the "Boys Anti-tank Rifle" (or incorrectly "Boyes"), was a British anti-tank rifle in use during World War II. It was often nicknamed the "elephant gun" by its users due to its size and large bore. There were three main versions of the Boys, an early model (Mark I) which had a circular muzzle brake and T-shaped monopod, built primarily at BSA in England, a later model (Mk I*) built primarily at Jonathan Inglis in Toronto Canada, that had a square muzzle brake and a V shaped bipod, and a third model made for airborne forces with a 30-inch (762 mm) barrel and no muzzle brake. There were also different cartridges, with a later version offering better penetration.
