What type of gun is this ?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: What type of gun is this ?

These pictures are often labelled as "A Carden-Loyd Mk.VI hauling troops and an anti-tank gun." But what type of gun is that? The mounting seems too flimsy for a heavy-recoil weapon - which means it must be recoiless, but then what's up with the magazine? A recoiless magazine fed weapon?

its an early 20mm oerlikon they were used by the British Army as anti-tank guns until the introduction of the 2pdr.

Cool

Post subject: Re: What type of gun is this ?

Ah! So i guess the large diameter of the barrel must be due to a cooling jacket - similar to the Finnish Lahti 20mm anti-tank guns. Very cool.

Was there ever an attempt to fit a Carden-Loyd with this gun as its primary armament? Sort of a very light Tank-Destroyer? There were quite a few Mk.VI's converted to Self Propelled Guns, usually around 47mm.

Here is a picture of a Swedish Carden-Loyd Mk.VI captioned: "Vagnen överfördes till Armémuseum 1939 i samband med nedläggning av I 2. Den togs dock fram under beredskapen för att utgöra plattform för försök med 57 mm rekylfri pvkanon (bakblåsare)." - I know no Swedish, but I am presuming this is an image from 1939 of a Carden-Loyd is equipped with a 57mm Recoiless gun.


(From the Swedish "Pansarmuseet" museum site)

Translation: This vehicle was transfered to The Army museum in 1939 when the regiment I 2 was disbanded. It was reactivated during the war to serve as a platform for tests with the 57mm recoilless AT gun.

Cheers,
Rik
