thorin6 Posted September 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2011 It's a 37 mm cannon that the US used in WWI and remained around into early WWII, primarily for training. Not sure of the nomenclature though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linedoggie Posted September 3, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 3, 2011 US Model of 1916 also know as the 1 pounder, the toy gun, etc 37mm French design Mle. 1916 same gun on the F-17 Tank. Doctrinally to be used without wheels to lower the gun in front line use. I believe there was a picture of one being used as a sub cal trainer for a Anti Tank unit somewhere here. No US made guns saw the frontline before the Armistice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
