6 pdr vs 75mm. 25 pounds of TNT. To summarize, the Germans had HE rounds for the 37mm, 50mm 75mm rounds from the very beginning while the British equivalents the 40mm 2 pounder and the 57mm 6 pounder and 77mm 17 pounder did not or were not issued until 1944. However inaccurate the 17 pounder was it was a gun that could KO a tiger or panther. 5 pounds of TNT After much searching because apparently Wikipedia is utterly uninterested in 6 pounder HE shells, I found in a PDF of an old manual that the British HE shell for the 6 pounder contains . The 17-pounder anti-tank guns also saw action in Korea against tanks and in general support use against bunkers. Hope this helps. The performance of the 6-pounder was roughly equal to the Soviet 57 mm ZIS-2, the armour of the Churchill was thicker than on the KV, and equal average speed to the KV, despite a lower top speed. It was obtained by fitting a new barrel and a modified breech to the mounting of the Ordnance QF 6-pounder ("6 pdr") 57 mm anti-tank gun, to give better performance against infantry targets similarly to the 75 mm M3 gun fitted to the American Sherman tank. After Korea, the gun was largely replaced in the tank role by the 84mm calibre, Ordnance QF 20 pounder, and in the anti-tank role by the BAT, MOBAT and 120 mm L6 WOMBAT series of recoilless rifles. Artillery was classified thereby into standard categories, with the 3-pounder, 4-pounder, 6-pounder, 8-pounder, 9-pounder, 12-pounder, 18-pounder, 24-pounder, and 32-pounder being the most common sizes encountered, although larger, smaller and intermediate sizes existed. eaejg sdqri qerd nwvk uio pxr wvi iyssd fpka lwem
