A QF 6 Pounder Hammering AwayEntry/Object ID
2016x.63.85Description
A black and white photo of an Ordnance Quick-Firing 6-pounder 7 cwt, 57 mm gun being fired. As the gun fired the buffer tube (below the barrel) would take the recoil of the discharge, and the pneumatic suspension of the gun carriage and their trail arms would bounce the gun back into firing position.
In this photo, the troops are learning to efficiently fire the anti-tank gun with live ammunition at the Beachy Head firing range.Photograph Details
