Historic context :
The 7cm GebK M75 mountain gun, with its poor performances, was replaced at the beginning of the XiXth century by a new weapon equipped with the same improvements as the ones of the 8cm FK M99 fielgun and the 10cm FH M99 fieldhowitzer, but also inheriting the same handicap : no other recoil recuperation system than a spade spring. |
