| Notes | During 1940 the Italian army choose to adopt the Solothurn S-18/1000 for use as a light anti-tank gun. It was issued at battalion level and saw service, mainly in North Africa. It was towed by a light two wheeled carriage and could be fired either dismounted or mounted. By 1942 these weapons were beginning lose their effectiveness as allied tanks were just too well armoured. |
