The closest Allied counterpart to the 3.7 cm Flak series was the 40 mm Bofors L/60, which was designated the "4 cm Flak 28" in German service. The Bofors fired a larger shell of 900 g (32 oz), as opposed to around 650 g (23 oz), at a slightly higher muzzle velocity of around 880 m/s (2,900 ft/s) as opposed to just under 800 m/s (2,600 ft/s).
A Pak's weight is within the range of 229 kg (505 lb) to 10,160 kg (22,400 lb). The smallest caliber was 28 mm (1.1 in) and the largest was 128 mm (5.0 in). Over the six-year course of World War II the armor of the tanks steadily improved, so the size of the projectile had to increase.
