The last ATR in regular military service was, IIRC, the Lahti 20mm used 
by the Finnish Army during WWII up until the end of the war.  Maybe the 
Ruskie held onto their 13mm peashooters a bit longer, I dunno.	But 
anyway, this Lahti was a semi-automatic conversion with bipod of an 
aircraft cannon.  Indeed, some were left full-auto.  :)  Anyway, this 
thing could gut a BT-series tank, and even kill a T-34 from the rear at 
close range, but was decidedly obsolete by 1944.  Panzerfausts became 
the Finnish weapon of choice for dismounted tank-killing.  I don't care 
what kind of ammo or what kind of chamber system you've got on it, no 
rifle can put the sort of energy down-range that a shoulder-fired 
rocket can.
