English: The karabin przeciwpancerny wzór 35 (kb ppanc wz. 35) or Maroszek anti-tank rifle was one of the better examples of early attempts made to provide infantrymen with portable anti-tank weapons. Before the advent of shaped-charge projectiles during the Second World War, these efforts were focused on the production of large rifles, intended to fire armoured piercing bullets. Most of the combatant powers employed anti-tank rifles during the Second World War, but the increasingly heavy armour of tanks severely limited their effectiveness. The Maroszek design at least had the benefit of relative lightness.
