It was armed with 1 light machine gun. Its main armament consisted of an Cannone contracarro da 37/32 which could penetrate 30 mm of flat plate at 800 metres
The Fiat 3000 was an Intalian built French Renault FT tank but was heavily modified to fit Italian build methods.
The drive was from a 50hp petrol engine through the rear drive wheels, across six return rollers to the massive front idler, then back via nine roadwheels.
The angular turret housed the 37mm Anti Tank gun. | |

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.
