Maybe they're only talking about low-velocity 76mm guns because I would have thought that the 76mm long-barreled field guns firing AP would be able to penetrate 60-70mm of armor. I could well be wrong.<br /><br />Could you put this in more context?Chits 'n' Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819307975178436315noreply@blogger.com
