Old Reliable

The 6Pounder Anti-Tank Gun Was A Mainstay Of British Forces In Wwii. Designed After The Conflict Broke Out, It Reflected British Needs Identified In The Painful Early Contact With German Forces. Remarkably, Only A Few Weeks Are Said To Have Been Needed To Finalize The Design, Which Almost Gives Lie To Its Highly Effective Performance. It Was 57-Caliber And Had A Maximum Range Of 5Km, With A Firing Rate Of Up To 20 Shells Per Minute, And A Muzzle Velocity Of 815M/Second, Enough To Threaten Even Tiger Is. Forces In North Africa Were The First To Receive The 6Pounder; Later In The Conflict, It Would Serve On All British Fronts.
