AFV Club AG35034 U.K 95 mm Howitzer Ammo Set (brass)

Ordnance QF 95 mm tank howitzer is a British 95mm tank howitzer from the Second World War. The first prototypes of this weapon were created in 1942, but the weapon entered service only in 1944. It is worth noting that two types of this howitzer were developed in parallel - tank and towed. Only the former went into production. The Ordnance QF 95 mm was mounted on the Churchill Mark V and VIII, Cromwell Mark VI and VII vehicles, as well as on the Centaur IV tank. It was primarily designed as an infantry support weapon, and thus its ability to counter armored targets was clearly limited. The howitzer fired tracers of the HE type (High Explosive), HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) and HESH (High Explosive Squash Head). The bullet fired from this gun left the barrel at a speed of 330 m / s, and the maximum range of the weapon was up to about 7,300 meters.
