There was *one* crime committed with a Lhati anti-tank gun that was stolen from a dealer, in an international robbery, before 1968.

No one was hurt. The gun was used to break into a vault.

(The genesis of the movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.)

Ever stop to think about what the muzzle blast from that 20-mm would be like in the confines of a bank vault? Apparently, the erstwhile robbers did.

Ever see a pic of the actual gun used? Right here you go!

Great pic! Do you know if any attribution was given? Police pic, maybe?

Here is the story of the criminal use of the Lahti, in 1965. Well done in the American Rifleman.

Thanks for sharing those cool old ads. Makes me wish I was aware of these things during that time (I was just a toddler).

No idea. From the look of the vehicle in the background, which looks to be a bank armored car, I'd bet it was either a police evidence pic or an insurance file shot.

It can be found [and attributed to] the following 2018 article in The American Rifleman Magazine, with which you may be familiar: Shades of “Thunderbolt & Lightfoot”: The 20 mm Brinks Heist.

Enjoy!
