I have posted an article on my website which describes, illustrates and gives details of all of the different cartridges used in anti-tank rifles. Just scroll down the first page until you hit it.Tony, nice article. Just a little comment the proper name of Polish AT rifle is "kb ppanc wz.35" not "kb wz.35". And the "Ur" (or "Urugwaj") or any other weapon name in Poland is added always after the military designation (like 5.56mm kbs wz.96 Beryl or 9mm pm wz.39 Mors). Second thing, nobody in Poland called kb ppanc wz.35 "Maroszek", this name is usually reserved for Maroszek's semiautomatic rifle 7.92mm kbsp M (or 7.92mm kbsp wz.38M), adopted by Polish Army in 1938.

Thanks for the correction, although as you may be aware the term 'Maroszek' for the AT rifle is in common use outside Poland, in fact that's the name the weapon is generally known by (although you will find it spelt in various different ways!).

The baton rounds are normally fired from riot guns - like fat, single-barrel shotguns. There's a very small quantity of propellant to limit the velocity as they are meant to knoock down and deter rather than injure (although they can still kill if used inappropriately).
