Hello there, I was browsing navweapons and came across a design mentioned in passing within the article about the Japanese 100/65. Apparently, there was an experimental 140/80 gun tested in 1933. I was hoping someone here had more information on the gun.

What if the Arial Target had been developed quicker, was available for some of the last Zeppelin raids on the UK and successfully brought one or more down, would that have any longer term effects?

Variously called, the Bofors 120/50 M/60Ty (Tyskland = Germany) was a Bofors late 1950's project for a new generation 120 mm ship mounted autocannon, replacing their twin barrel system from 1950, instead opting for a single barrel system with double the rate of fire. The German Navy showed...

In the late-war period a battery of the ill-fated 5cm FlaK 41 was directed by a remote controlled system, overcoming it`s manual traverse problems and testing what would be the Gerät 58 5,5cm control system. Does anyone know about this development?

When browsing Vickers Tyne & Wear Archive I noticed a really intersting and obscure design proposal. Not only by the strangely long barrel, sci-fi look turret (this is a 1946 drawing), but also the insane stats and unique operating mechanism. I also cannot find any information of this proposal...

" The Japanese 70-mm barrage mortar was first encountered on Attu. It consists of a smooth-bore tube, 4 feet long, the steel base plate of which is fastened by two bolts to a wooden block, 10 x 12 x 8 inches. A large iron spike on the under side of the wooden block is thrust into the ground to...

Japanese Wikipedia entry on Akizuki class DD stated that IJN started in 1936 to study dedicated AA vessels following the example of Dido class. They contemplated anything from a 1000 ton torpedo boat armed with a single 10 cm or 12.7 cm AA gun to a quite large cruiser equipped with 12 double...

Hi folks, Maybe this should be under 'Missile Projects' (or indeed 'Army Projects') - if so, let me know and I'll shift it, but anyway here are some details and images relating to Britain's 'Parachute-and-Cable' ground-launched anti-aircraft system. Cheers, 'Wingknut' “PAC (Parachute and Cable)...

I`ve uncovered this image from a 1946 soviet report on german radar. It relates to the "Rettin-M" AA radar, installed in a Flakvierling. It was one of the few ( the only? ) on-carriage AA radar tried by Germany in WW2. There are evidence of a "Rettin-L", which I assume to mean "Land". Therefore...

Looking for information on the twin 6 pdr coastal defence (also a warship's weapon) gun (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_6pounder_10cwt_m1.htm) I found elsewhere on the Internet a cut-out from Ian V. Hogg's books "Anti-Aircraft Artillery" (attached below). The author mentions there that the...

Not long ago I learned about the Fliegerfaust or Luftfaust WWII German anti-aircraft multi-barreled rocket launchers, which piqued my curiosity. Does anyone know of any other prototypes or projects for unguided anti-aircraft weapons, not tradional anti-aircraft guns but other novel attempts...

I am looking for info, pics, drawings and specifications for a Self-Propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) that was based on the chassie of the Vickers FV433 Abbot SPG. It was called the 'Falcon', and was armed with a turreted twin 30mm cannon arrangement. What year was it first developed? does...
