Great video Ian. In 1915 for the Regia Marina (Italian Navy) the Hotckis 6 pr translate as a 57x43 mm cannon and the 3 pr as 47x40; we had also a super tiny 25 mm version.

That is freaking awesome I'm pretty sure someone with some skill can make that into a semi-auto maybe with a magazine attached attached above the breech-block or just something to drop them in that's not spring loaded
Yankee redneck Well, these guns were designed to be crew served. I think if you had a good gunner, and a good loader, you could probably equal or surpass the rate of fire a magazine fed gun of the same type had... plus, changing something like this to a mag fed weapon would be both very hard and a crime against history
Of course, everyone had artillery pieces of varying calibers for different occasions, the Germans in WWI had a lot of 37mm,5.3cm and 7.7cm cannon that were also used as anti tank guns.
Didn't really need anti tank guns in ww1 against tanks. They had virtually no armour. Just sheet steel, the later war high velocity infantry rounds would go through the sides with ease. That 37mm with solid shot would probably go in one end and out the other.
@@roadsweeper1 I wouldn't necessarily call an inch of riveted steel "Sheet metal". All of the tanks that served in the war were impervious to rifle caliber projectiles, even something as small as a French Renault FT-17 has about 22mm of all round armour, with things like the German A7V and italian Fiat 2000 being the most heavily armoured.
@@CaptainGrief66 sorry mate, your wrong there. The British Mk 1 had armour thicknesses of 1/4 inch up to 1/2 inch (6-12mm). Even the Mk V that didn't see service until 1917, only had 2/3rds of an inch armour (16mm) on the front, 1/2 inch on the sides, and 1/4 inch on the rear, belly, and roof. Sorry, but the more powerful rounds the snipers and machine guns were getting, would go through 1/4 inch armour like a knife through butter. I'm not saying all tanks were vunerable to small arms, I agree, some of them, like the little French FT117, weren't, but they were one of the best tanks of ww1. Some of the lesser tanks were certainly vunerable in the weaker armoured areas, like the rear and roof. That's also why they stopped using the armour plate sniper shields in the later half of ww1, the rifle rounds were getting that powerful, they were just just going through them.
@@roadsweeper1 I should've specified that they were impervious to rifle calibers at least from the front, 20mm of steel should be enough to stop a 7.92mm Mauser shot from 200 metres, the British Mark I-to-V tanks all had about 20mm of frontal armour with something like 15mm on their sides and rear while a German A7V SturmPanzerWagen had 30mm of frontal armour and 20mm of side armour, same goes for the italian one. The problem here is that all these big early tanks had machinegun all around them, sure, your service rifle can do the job if you get closer or at least shoot the sides, but I really doubt a British rifleman would even dare to try and flank a A7V, those six MG08/15s would scare away anyone.
