Summary
| Description |
The Smith Gun was invented by the chief engineer of the Trianco Engineering Company, East Molesey, Surrey. It was developed as a private venture in 1940 and offered to the British Army as an emergency gun for issue to the Home Guard. It was a 3-inch smoothbore barrel mounted in a light carriage that consisted of little more than two wheels and an axle. A limber was provided to carry ammunition. The projectile was a 3-inch mortar shell propelled by a small charge of smokeless powder fired by a 0.38 pistol blank cartridge. None saw any action and they were declared obsolete in 1945. Photographed at the Category:Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson on 26-Apr-06. |
