In WWI there were attempts to bring down early tanks with heavy machine guns (the armor was not that thick back then)… but i am not sure if this is an official category.
ehhhh, I assume the guy meant an anti-material rifle? or some sort of autocannon if it actually is like a machinegun because anti-tank rifles are very antiquated and not a thing anymore, at least as a modern term for these weapons. That kind of thing got phased out since world war 2.
My best guess is that they meant an M2 browning and just knew they were mounted on some tanks, then assumed they were meant for tanks. They were meant for AP and AA use if im not misremembering.
