In terms of dedicated anti-tank rifles, yeah, they were of marginal concern in the interwar period, and then had like, three years of glory in WW2 when they were somewhat effective, and then joined the dust heap of history.
Funny enough though, the Browning .50 Cal machine gun was originally made with the intention of being able to hose down tanks in WW1 with armor-piercing bullets. War finished before the gun was, though.
That's really cool
