1. KT, KT–26 and KT–28. Source: Russian Military Zone. When mounted in a T–26 the gun was referred to as a KT–26, when mounted on a T–28 it became KT–28. When mounted in a T–35, the gun remained KT–28 because the turrets of T–35 and T–28 were the same. Although similar to the 76mm gun obr.1927, this was a separate weapon. [up]

2. PS–3. Source: Russian Military Zone. In the ammunition tables of Soviet Guns 1920–1945 there is one mention of the T–28 vehicle using this gun but this is not reflected in the historical information about the T–28 found in the Russian Military Zone. It could have been fitted to an interim or experimental model of the T–28. It was fitted to the second prototype of the T–35, the T–35–2, but not to the main production vehicles. The weight of the projectile is taken from Soviet Guns 1920–1945, and its name is assumed to be the standard Soviet 76mm APBC projectile BR–350A even though its weight is slightly different from that given by the Russian Military Zone (6.3kg instead of 6.5kg).

3. L–10. Source: Russian Military Zone. The original data had the penetration data figures for 500m and 1000m reversed; I assume this is a misprint. In one place the length is given as L26 instead of L23.7 and there are trivially small differences in muzzle velocity (555 m/s instead of 558 m/s). I have used the lower figures in both cases. The weight of the projectile and its name is assumed to be the standard Soviet 76mm APBC projectile BR–350A even though its weight is slightly different (6.3kg instead of 6.5kg). [up]

4. L–11. Source: Russian Military Zone. This was an improved variant of the L–10 gun. [up]

5. F–32. Source: Russian Military Zone and Red Steel. The Russian Military Zone gives the calibre length as 31.5 while Red Steel gives 39; I have used the figure from the Russian Military Zone. The weight of the projectile and its name is assumed to be the standard Soviet 76mm APBC projectile BR–350A even though its weight is slightly different (6.3kg instead of 6.5kg). [up]

6. F–34 and ZiS–5. Source: Russian Military Zone and Zaloga, Steven J.: T–34/76 Medium Tank. According to the Russian Military Zone the ZiS–5 was similar to the F–34 gun. There are minor variations in penetration data (about 1mm) and muzzle velocity, the lower figure is always used. The weight of the APBC projectile and its name is assumed to be the standard Soviet 76mm APBC projectile BR–350A even though its weight is slightly different (6.3kg instead of 6.5kg). APCR rounds were in service by October 1943 but only for units where an attack was expected (8 per vehicle). By Spring 1944 at least 4 APCR shells were available to all vehicles. [up]
