24 mm Panzerwagenkanone 1938
The small-caliber anti-tank cannon was developed in the late 1930s by the Swiss State Armory in Bern. It was a very accurate weapon with a small recoil, charged from a magazine for six rounds. The version produced in 1938 worked with an unlocked closure and the 1941 version already used a locked closure.
