Anti-Material rifles (not Antimatter) are large-caliber rifles like
that .50 cal thing the USMC has (or, for TNE fans, the 14.5mm Crunch
Gun that fires DS rounds). It's called anti-material because it's
politically incorrect to say "We designed this thing to be able to
punch through the target's helmet."
