Notes | The 76.2mm M.1902/30 was the modernised version of the M.1902. The original gun was up-graded by lengthening the barrel and altering the carriage to allow for an increase in elevation. The new barrel gave the gun a higher velocity and this along with new gun sights and made it handy as an anti-tank weapon. New anti-tank rounds were also developed and many were in service when the Germans invaded in 1941. It was kept in service until the new 76.2mm ZIS-3 was developed and it was used as a divisional gun and issued to field artillery regiments. |
