| | History | |
|---|
| | Highly effective squeeze bore Anti Tank weapon utilising a tungsten cored shell. The 28mm to 20mm squeeze bore gave the core a muzzle velocity of 1400 metres/second about 40% more than standard AP shells. This variant was the Paratroop version with smaller wheels. |

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.
The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive
and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The
information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre,
the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation
originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
