PaK 38

The 5 cm Pak 38 (L/60) (5 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 38 (L/60)) was a German anti-tank gun of 50 mm calibre. It was developed in 1938 by Rheinmetall-Borsig AG.

This was a capable gun that remained in service right to the end of World War II: firing tungsten-cored AP40 ammunition, the PaK 38 could successfully tackle all but the most heavily protected Allied tanks, and between 1941 and 1942. The employment of light alloys in the carriage lighted the equipment and made it easier to handle. The wheels had torsion-bar suspension that was locked when the trails were split, creating a stable firing platform.
