Thank you - excellent to have an Entry focusing on Anti-Tank Weapons to complement the Entry about Tanks.

How were dinner plates used against tanks?

"AFV" - will be helpful to spell out the acronym on first use.

" unambiguously infantry weapon" - not sure it is clear what this means. Who were the empire-building generals? There was disagreement about whether infantry or artillery should have anti-tank guns so it was agreed to focus on anti-tank rifles until tanks grew heavier?

"considered unimportant" - they had a programme, but it was lower priority, or they didn't have a programme?

Could we have a footnote to say something about the Boomerang Grenade?

Well rescued and brought up to date

I've made some changes to hopefully make this feel less like an orphan extracted from the tank entry to a standalone entry in its own right.
