Notes | The 76.2mm OB-25 was designed to replace the M.1927 regimental gun. It used a modernised version of the M.1927 barrel and was mounted on the carriage from the 45mm M.1942 anti-tank gun. It was a light and provided the infantry with a low velocity gun in which to destroy emplacements and bunkers. It was issued in the same way as the M.1927 and both guns were kept in front line service until the end of the war. |
