As a gun's recoil mechanism was always heavy, this allowed for a much lighter gun on a smaller carriage, suitable for airborne and mountain use. The disadvantage was that range was reduced and the fierce recoil blast was difficult to conceal from enemy spotters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst developed by Krupp, then Rheinmetal, the LG40, a 75mm artillery gun, was first used by Fallschirmjäger in Crete in 1941. A 105mm version was introduced in late 1941 and was used in North Africa. They were employed as artillery rather than anti-tank weapons. Both were light enough to be towed behind a Kettenkrad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains 1 metal anti-tank gun and 4 crew members.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiniatures are supplied unpainted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48017366843635,"sku":"119489","price":27.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/8699\/8771\/files\/119489-afrika-korps-lefh-18-10_5cm-medium-artillery-403012029-1.webp?v=1781194832","url":"https:\/\/radaddel.de\/en\/products\/afrika-korps-lefh-18-10-5cm-medium-artillery","provider":"Radaddel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
