I'll start the topic with an experienced Finnish infantry gun 76 PK 27/38 1943-1944.

Armata 155mm wz. 40 - Kampania Wrześniowa 1939.pl

Armatami o największym zasięgu, które posiadało Wojsko Polskie były francuskie działa 105mm wz. 13 i późniejszy wz. 29. Były one klasyfikowane jako artyleria dalekonośna, ale w rzeczywistości była to tylko artyleria średniego zasięgu.

Параллельно со 122-мм гаубицей Д-30 в 50-е годы ХХ века разрабатывалось ещё одно артиллерийское орудие на аналогичном трёхстанинном лафете.

240-мм М-240 и «Тюльпан» (2С4) могли не стать самыми крупнокалиберными советскими серийными миномётами.

It is highly likely that he is Czechoslovakian.

Hi.

Japanese Experimental 7,5 cm Regimental Gun from 1937. Planned to be used in regimental Infanty Gun Units.
With the type Meiji 41 75 mm Pack Howitzer being retired from artillery units from 1935 onward enough of these guns with their similar power were available for the planned duty as infantry gun. So the 1937 project remained experimental only.











Yours

tom!

A somewhat tardy answer to query about the Larsen anto-tank gun.

That Danish squeeze bore weapon was scheduled to replace the 25 mm Hotchkiss anti-tank guns of infantry units of the French army.

Unconfirmed specs are...
Weight: 450 or so pounds
Muzzle velocity: 4 600 or so feet per second
Armour penetration: 2.2 or so inches of steel at 30 degrees, at 450 or do yards

That weapon was to be made under license in France by Manurhin (Manufacture de machines du Haut-Rhin).

Fifty guns might, I repeat might, have been delivered before the collapse of France in 1940.

As promising as the weapon appeared to be, the very high muzzle velocity led to the need to replace the barrel after 500 or so shots fired, if that. Manurhin might have been working on that issue in mid 1940.

Some very interesting if unconfirmed info on the origins of that weapon can be found at https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schultz_&_Larsen
