No, if it has that effect on you I think you should be worried.

it's a british .55 cal Boys rifle, it weighed in at 36 pounds and gives a somewhat nasty kick when fired defeats 21mm armour at 300 metres imagine what it could do to concrete..

i sound like a gun nut i know, but i'm not i'm not even in the military for godsakes.. or the police force for that matter i just happen to own the guinness encyclopedia of weaponry

21mm? I wouldn't quite call it an anti-tank weapon, then. More like an anti-APC, anti-armored car, etc - tanks generally have around 50-150mm of just plain hull, not counting the thickness of whatever type of armor it bears.
