35005 BRITISH 6 POUND GUN
The 6-pounder anti-tank gun was developed by the British Army during WWII due to the need to replace their
earlier, inadequate anti-tank weapons. This 57mm weapon had an effective range of 5,000m and a maximum
range of 10000m. It could fire both high-explosive and armor-piercing shells with a muzzle velocity of 815 m/
s. The gun was mounted on a two-wheeled split trail carriage and was often towed by Universal Carriers. It
first saw action in the deserts of the North African front and proved capable of knocking out even the heavily
armored Tiger I tank.
