What is a anti-material rifle?
A large caliber firearm that is intended for use against structures or vehicles, as oppose to the more common anti-personnel role. The WW 2 Boys anti-tank rifle (.55 caliber) or the Lahti 20mm would be examples.

The first anti-tank came out when the first tank was fielded, in WW1. It was a bolt action rifle.

M40 106mm recoilless rifle.
What is the biggest rifle caliber?
Things start to get a little hazy around the top end of things. The largest SPORTING rifle caliber may be the .700 Nitro Express, although there was an anti tank rifle that was 20 mm (about .80 caliber) and at least one designed in 30mm (1.20 caliber). Years ago, a gun known as the Paradox (part of the barrel was smoothbore, part was rifled) was measured in Gauges rather than caliber- and they were extremely big. I have seen one custom rifle built as an experiment that was a a TWO gauge black powder rifle- fired a lead ball the size of a billiard ball. However, bigger is not always better. Good question, though.
What is the most powerful bullet?
For modern rifles I think it's a 60 cal it was an anti tank rifle in world war one or two. On google search modern firearms anti tank rifles and that website has it on there
Can a 50 caliber bullet go through a car?
If you mean the .50 cal Browning Machine Gun cartridge, fired by the Barrett rifle, yes, side to side, through the engine block, etc. That cartridge was developed in World War I as an anti-tank round.
What was the barrett .50 cal first used for?
the barrett .50bgm rifle is not a sniper rifle as most people call it. it is technically an anti-material rifle which is the modern name for an anti-tank rifle. it is used against lightly armored targets such as anti-aircraft guns truck cars apcs etc. it can penetrate these targets making them inoperable or killing the targets inside. but it is used as an anti-personnel rifle bc who can argue with the killing power of a .50cal at 1000yds
What is a 50 caliber pellet gun?
A 50 caliber Pellet gun (rifle) is a precharged pneumatic air rifle. It uses a scuba tank or compressor to charge the rifle. It can fire up to a 50 cal pellet. Companies like Shin Sung and others make air rifles this large. You can find the on the web. Places like "Pyrmyd air" sell them.
Where can I get a 0.50 caliber air rifle?
Your talking about a PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) Class rifle. There are very few manufactures of these rifles. At present the "Sam Yang" is the only model that I know of that makes a .50 cal but there may be more. Sam Yang makes the .50 caliber Dragon claw in single and dual tank models. Remember it's not only the rifle but you need a special hand pump or Scuba tank or electric pump to fill the air tanks. You can not use a regular "Air Compressor" to fill the tank. See the link below for the rifle. "Pyramyd air" also sells the pellets for this rifle along with several other PCP rifles.
What is the most powerful anti tank rifle of all time that is man portable and not a recoilless rifle also it does not matter if the anti tank rifle is not in military service?
Of the rifles actually dubbed as 'anti-tank' rifles, it would have been the Boys .55 inch rifle. Although many of them were rechambered for the 12.7x99 (.50 BMG) cartridge in the 80s, when the concept was revived in the form of heavy/anti-materiel sniping, the .55 Boys cartridge was considerably more powerful than the BMG cartridge.Of heavy sniping/anti-materiel rifles, the most powerful would currently be the South African Denel NTW-20x110 and Croatian RT-20, which fire a 20x110 cannon cartridge originally intended for use in the Hispano-Suiza aircraft cannons.When you say "man portable", I'm assuming that you're referring to systems which can be transported and operated by an individual. Weapons such as the 37mm anti-tank guns of early WWII could possibly be wheeled around by an individual for short durations, but they were crew served weapons.The world's most powerful anti-tank rifle is Japanese type 97 20mm.
