As a Br3 player, when I try to destroy enemy APC with rocket launcher or AT rifle grenade, Even after shooting all my ammunition, sometimes I can only disable the engine. However, it does not occur when using anti-tank rifles. Therefore, I believe it is a reasonable choice to allow rifles with AT grenade use the AP rifle rounds, which means you can let an AT gunner bring a AT rifle and rocket launcher at the same time.
Here are AP ammos for each nation
Type 92 AP(Japan)

It could penetrate 12mm of armor at 200m, so the maxim penetration might be 14-15mm(10m).
Even though this cartridge was designed for machine gun, you could fire it with Type 99 rifle.

M2 AP (America)
It could penetrate 10-13mm of armor at 100 yards(91m), so the maxim penetration might be 15-18mm(10m).
S.m.K. and S.m.K.H.(Germany)
S.m.K.
S.m.K. has pretty good penetration, according to this video, you can almost penetrate a 1 inch(25.4mm) plate from 100 yards(91m), the maxim penetration might be about 27-28mm.

S.m.K.H.
The penetration is very impressive, according to this video,the S.m.K.H bullet can almost penetrate a 1.5 inches(38mm)plate from 50 yards(46m) . Which means the maxim penetration might be 40mm.

B-30 AP(Soviet)
The left one is for rifle, the middle one is for machine gun.
According to a Russian page I found, the penetration is 10mm from 200 m. The maxim penetration might be a bit lower than the Japanese one, maybe about 13-14mm
7,62-мм винтовочные патроны
Even though the penetration is low, this type of bullet makes a rifleman or AT gunner have a small caliber anti tank rifle to deal with enemy APC or AT gun, and you can save your rocket and AT rifle grenades for destroying enemy tanks.
Do you want to change the default bullet type for rifles with AT grenade?
