Footnotes

1. 37–mm Anti-Tank Guns M3 and M3A1, and 37–mm Tank Guns M5 and M6. Source: Chamberlain, Peter and Gander, Terry: Anti-Tank Weapons; Hogg, Ian V.: British and American Artillery of World War Two and Hunnicutt, R. P.: Sherman: A History of the American Medium Tank. The M3A1 had a thread cut into the end of the barrel to fit a muzzle brake, but no muzzle brakes were ever fitted to production guns. None of the 37mm armour piercing projectiles had any explosive filler. [up]
