Usually when you have one product in competition with another, they are the same sort of thing… a car vs a car, for example. But hey, it’s the internet. Why not a 20mm anti-tank rifle from 1938 vs a modern desktop computer?

The Lahti 20mm is a seriously powerful rifle, far more so than .50BMG sniper rifles. It was developed in Finland in 1939, and used against the Russians in a war that most Americans are largely unaware of. In short, Stalin thought that he could take Finland as easily as he had taken eastern Poland. How’d that work out? Well…
Sadly, the Soviets did manage to force the Finns to fork over about 11% of Finland, which contained about a third of Finlands economy. But it did reveal that the Finns were Not To Be Trifled With.
