1. 76mm obr.1927, 76mm obr.1943 and M–99 obr.1944. Source: Zaloga, Steven J. and Ness, Leland S.: Red Army Handbook 1939–1945 and Russian Military Zone. Although similar to the KT–26 and KT–28 tank guns, this was a separate weapon. The later models had modified gun carriages but the same barrel and ammunition. The M–99 gun was developed for mountain troops but only produced in small quantities. [up]

2. 76mm obr.1902/30. Source: Russian Military Zone. The muzzle velocity has a question mark “?” as it is for a 6.5kg HE projectile, but this is probably close to the muzzle velocity of the 6.3kg BR–350A APBC projectile. [up]

3. F–19 obr.1933. Source: Russian Military Zone. The muzzle velocity has a question mark “?” indicating it is for an unknown projectile (i.e., not necessarily the BR–350A). [up]

4. F–22 obr.1936 and F–22 USV obr.1939. Source: Hogg, Ian V: German Artillery of World War Two and Russian Military Zone. Captured F–22 and F–22 USV guns were modified by the Germans and called 7.62cm Pak 36(r) and Pak 39(r) respectively, and penetration data for these modifications can be found in the German section. According to Hogg the principal change of the F–22 USV was a shortening of the barrel by 710mm (27.95in) which resulted in a slightly lower muzzle velocity, but that for all practical purposes the performance data of the two guns was the same.

5. 76mm AAG obr.1931 and 1938. Source: Russian Military Zone. The maximum effective range against tanks was 975m. There are two different AP projectile weights quoted in the reference: 6.61kg and 6.5kg; I have used the latter weight which is from the ammunition tables. The angle of penetration is probably zero degrees because of the format of most of the data on Soviet Guns 1920–1945. The muzzle velocity has a question mark “?” indicating it is for an unknown projectile (i.e., not necessarily the BR–361 or BR–361SP). The BR–361SP AP projectile was a solid shot round with no explosive filler. [up]
