kuhla Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I didn't know 76mm guns shot that fast. The description says 150rpm. It shoots fastest starting at 00:26 in the clip below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Quite quite impressive...need more info on this gun! I didn't know that either....they've come a long way since the guns of WWII! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 ...need more info on this gun! I think this is it : Italian 76mm SR ( http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_3-62_mk75.htm ) They also give a different ROF @ 120rpm normal with 139rpm achieved in trials. I think this is the same gun too -->> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otobreda_76_mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 76 mm isn't that large of a shell in my mind (7.6 centimeters divided by 2.54, about 3") But it's still a pretty respectable speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 76 MM is generally used for Anti-air and against smaller ships. That isn't the oto melera, I was looking at that on wiki as my first guess, but it definitely isn't it. Some US navy ships also carry the oto melera, but yeah, its definitely a new gun....150 rounds is outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
