of 88s to hit or destoy tanks, property, etc.

When I started to learn more about 88s, I was puzzled when reading that they were also effective in striking bridges, etc. Because they were specifically noted, 'Anti Aircraft Guns,' I thought that strange.

My brother said, 'Sis, they can be used to take out a barn, a factory, a railroad, a car, whatever!' Then I got it, diverse uses like a machine gun that could destroy humans, bust up a farmhouse, damage boats, vehicles, etc. Thanks for replying.
