 Austria designed, developed and produced the 47mm gun that later became the "4.7cm Borough M32", which was reborn in 1932 after the increased number of enemy tanks in the early days of World War II (1939-1945) as Infantry close support weapon. The two-wheeled cart allows the towing system, and the mounting hardware provides -15 to +56 elevation on a 62-degree incline. The range is 7,000 meters. Like other AT guns of the time, the Bohler gun was designed to fire two different projectiles - requiring armor-piercing (AP) and high-explosive (HE) and line-of-sight (LoS). The Italians were the main customers of the Bohler gun and acquired the rights to produce it locally (Cannone da 47/32). As such, 47mm weapons form the main guns of various Italian armored vehicles, including the M13/40 medium tank, the AB41 armored car and the Sevente 47/32 series SPG platform. Despite its relatively compact size, the gun proved difficult to tow and provided no protection for its occupants, but its availability meant that these guns remained the front-line weapon of the Italian army until 1943 - when 47mm shells were An armor-piercing weapon solution has had its best days. However, in early campaigns, the gun's tank-killing capabilities were comparable to the German PaK 36 and the British 2-pounder. In addition to being accepted by the Austrian and Italian armies, the Borough 47mm gun was adopted by China, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, the Netherlands, Romania and Switzerland. The Soviet Union seized a collection of guns from Latvia and the Germans from their victories in Austria, Holland and the Soviet Union. In the Wehrmacht's inventory, they were called "4.7cm PaK 187(h)" (Dutch model) and "4.7cm PaK 196(r)" (Soviet model). These guns were restored after Italy's surrender in September 1943, as some German forms were inevitably passed on to the Italians to increase their stocks.
