A prototype manufactured by Garrington Ltd. as part of the development of a cannon that would replace a 25 pound cannon. An interesting solution was the shield, actually a kind of dome, covering the cannon operator from shards and a flash of nuclear explosions (: D). The development lasted from 1955 to 1958. During the tests, the biggest shortcomings were the high weight, which made it difficult to manipulate the cannon and the fact that after about 30 minutes of continuous firing, the space of the operator's cover was filled with flue gas and it was necessary to stop firing until the gases dispersed.
