NotesThe Modello 35 was designed to replace the obsolete 149/35A as the standard heavy gun. It was a good weapon but like all heavy guns it had to be broken into either two or four parts for transportation. It never replaced the 149/35 as it was only produced in small numbers and served in Russia and North Africa.
