Ordnance QF 6-pounder
Ordnance QF 6-pounder was the main anti-tank gun for the British in the middle of the Second World War and also the main armament for a number of armored vehicles. It was first used in North Africa in April 1942 and quickly replaced the Ordnance QF 2-pounder in the anti-tank role, while allowing the Ordnance QF 25-pounder to return to its original artillery role. The US Army also used the "6-pounder" as an anti-tank gun under the designation "57 mm Gun M1".
