Design of a horse-drawn, 3.7 cm anti-tank gun (designated 3.7 cm Pak L/45) by Rheinmetall commenced in 1924 and the first guns were issued in 1928. [5] By the early 1930s, it was apparent that horse-drawn artillery was obsolescent, and the gun was modified for motorized transport by substituting magnesium-alloy wheels and pneumatic tires for the original spoked wooden wheels, allowing it to be ...
3.7 cm KwK 36. The 3.7 cm KwK 36 L/45 (3.7 cm Kampfwagenkanone 36 L/45) was a German 3.7 cm cannon used primarily as the main armament of earlier variants of the German Sd.Kfz. 141 Panzerkampfwagen III medium tank. It was used during the Second World War. It was essentially the 3.7 cm Pak 36 used as a tank gun.
The Sd.Kfz. 7/1 was armed with a 2 cm Flakvierling 38 quadruple anti-aircraft gun system. The Sd.Kfz. 7/2 was armed with a single 3.7 cm FlaK 36 anti-aircraft gun. On many of these variants, the driver's position and the engine cover was armored [1] (8 mm thickness). [5] There were also conversions made mounting a single 2 cm anti-aircraft gun.
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).
120 rpm cyclic. Muzzle velocity. 350 m/s (1,100 ft/s) Effective firing range. Horizontal: 5 km (3 mi) Maximum firing range. Vertical: 2,200 m (7,200 ft) [1] The 3.7 cm SockelFlak L/14.5 was an early German light anti-aircraft gun deployed in limited numbers towards the end of the First World War.
0.3048 m. 30.48 cm. 304.8 mm. The foot (standard symbol: ft) [1][2] is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The prime symbol, ′, is commonly used to represent the foot. [3] In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard comprises three feet.
2,000 m (6,600 ft) (effective ceiling) Maximum firing range. 8,500 m (9,300 yd) at 37.5°. The 3.7 cm SK C/30[Note 1] was the German Kriegsmarine 's primary 3.7 cm (1.5 in) anti-aircraft gun during the Second World War. It was superseded by the fully automatic 3.7 cm FlaK 43 late in the war.
300 m (328 yd) Maximum firing range. 2,621 m (2,866 yd) [2] The 3.7 cm Tankabwehrkanone 1918 in starrer Räderlafette or 3.7 cm TAK 1918, was an anti-tank gun built by Rheinmetall for the Imperial German Army near the end of the First World War. This was the world's first cannon that was purpose-designed for the role of an anti-tank gun.
