Its main armament consisted of a 20mm Solothurn s18-1100 which could penetrate 6 mm of flat plate at 800 metres
The CV 38 was a vehicle based on the British Carden Lloyd machine gun carrier.
Powered by a 43hp petrol engine the drive was through the front sprockets down to seven roadwheels, then back via the rear idler over two return rollers.
This model had better suspension and tracks and improved driver vision, and mounted the Solothurn 20mm 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.
