Sowjetische 76,2 mm ZIS-3 Panzerabwehrkanone M.1942

Sowjetische 76,2 mm ZIS-3 Panzerabwehrkanone M.1942.

The 76,2 mm ZIS-3 divisional gun was developed by the design team of A.E. Khvorosteen, E.A. Sankeen, und A.F. Gordeev. The weapon was easy to use, relatively light und maneuverable. The ZIS-3 had a high rate of fire, und it was powerful enough to penetrate enemy tanks und assault guns of the period. It was a dual purpose gun, which also fired high explosive shells und case shot against infantry und soft targets. German troops soon knew the ZIS-3 by the nickname „Ratsch-Bumm“, due to its distinctive firing und impact sound. Captured weapons und ammunition eventually found their way into German und Axis Allied formations, making the ZIS-3 an interesting model for collectors, diorama builders, und wargamers alike.
