	Assault gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An assault gun is a gun or howitzer mounted on a motor vehicle or armored chassis, designed for use in the direct fire role in support of infantry when attacking other infantry or fortified positions.
		Battalions of assault guns, usually StuG IIIs, commonly replaced the intended panzer battalion in the German panzergrenadier divisions due to the chronic shortage of tanks, and were sometimes used as makeshifts even in the panzer divisions.
		Instead a wheeled vehicle based on the standard LAV III wheeled chassis is being deployed with the 105mm gun as the Stryker, with similar characteristics as the Centauro Wheeled Tank Destroyer of the Italian Army and the French AMX 10 RC.

	USS San Juan - Specifications
		Initial design concepts called for a "mini all purpose " Brooklyn class cruiser with dual purposes 6" armament but was quickly changed as it became apparent that a successful design could not be achieved on that displacement and a dual purpose 6" mount would not be ready for some time.
		Their initial purpose, contrary to popular belief, was not only that of an anti-aircraft cruiser but that of a small, fast scout cruiser that could operate in conjunction with destroyers on the fringes of the battle line in addition to the defense of the battle line against destroyer and aircraft attack.
		These guns were hand-loaded, but power-rammed which gave them a high rate of fire and made them capable of loading at any angle of elevation, both necessary qualities in an AA weapon.

	Lone Sentry: Use of 20-mm AA/AT Gun Against Ground Targets (WWII U.S. Intelligence Bulletin, February 1943)
		The 20-mm gun on a self-propelled mount combines the fire power and mobility of an antiaircraft gun with the accuracy and penetration of an antitank gun.
		Guns must be sited so that attacking aircraft can be engaged from reverse slopes, while, moving the gun to a position on the forward slope, it is possible to bring under fire the enemy approaching on the ground.
		In case of surprise attack, fire is opened either immediately from the tractor on which the gun is mounted, or else sections (which are fully motorized) leave the column and occupy a position on firm ground with a good field of fire, with the gun dismounted.

		Gun pits were made large and shallow to enable rapid traverse and to assure clear fields of fire in all directions.
		At 800 yards, the antitank gun was nearly as accurate as at 600 yards, whereas the machine gun had lost considerable accuracy and was unlikely to penetrate gun shields.
		The 6-pounder guns are mounted portee, and the 18-pounders are truck-drawn.

		The latter was intended to use its 75mm main gun as an anti-aircraft system to supplement its SAMs, and both models could fire at high elevation to a range of 12,000m.
		A 140mm gun on an assault gun type body would be a useful weapon system both for divisional artillery and to reinforce armoured or infantry attacks.
		The 120mm Assault Gun Mortars are equally as versatile and can contribute to the battalion's anti-armour abilities with bomblet rounds and 120mm PGMs.

	Anti-Air Armament Development of U.S. Destroyers
		The old four-pipers originally had one or two 3in/23 AA guns, along with a main armament of four 5in/50.
		Their standard light AA armament was four.50 cal. By 1941 the air threat was so serious that the King Board recommended that all modern destroyers lose a 5-inch mount in return for a 1.1 quad (they could not simply add a quad without compensation, because topweight was already a problem with some ships).
		They originally had five 5in/38 and four.50 cal. Early in the war no. 3 gun and the.50 cals were removed, and eight 20mm fitted.

		There were occasions during firing that the M60A2 experienced flashbacks and premature detonation of rounds because the remnants of the previous round had not been totally consumed during firing.
		The CBSS would blow three blasts of compressed air through the gun after firing to clear any remnants out during the recoil sequence before the breech opened and a new round would be loaded.

	The Mark 1 Fire-Control Computer
		The movement of the ship in course and speed are transmitted into the gun, so when the gun is fired, this movement is imparted to the projectile, and becomes a part of it’s flight pattern or trajectory.
		So if the target is stationary, accurate gun fire can be done, or commence, at any time because the computer does not have to predict a future position of the target.
		The Mark 1A dual purpose computer together with the 5”/38 in single and twin mounts were deployed on almost every USN ship from destroyers through battleships and carriers by the end of the war.

		With the design of the 5-Inch/38 Dual Purpose Gun, the United States Navy had an outstanding piece of ordnance of medium artillery capable of surface action or anti-aircraft defense.
		In August 1940 a Navy Department AA Board was organized to examine and organize the optimum ordnance and batteries for the various classes of ships in the USN.
		The AA Board worried that the 1.1-Inch gun was still too light for adequate protection and bought one Bofors for trial in August 1940.

		But these types of guns have been out of the Navy’s ordnance supply system for many years and are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.

		If you can shoot good(not off hand) that 22-250 will take couse deer all day long (with reloads and good quality bullets) Bullet placement is very critical when shooting a highpowered 22 at game bigger than a coyote.

		The game ended without either side being able to claim a decisive victory: the USMC were unlikely to be dislodged from the beaches, and the Japanese line was unlikely to be breached by the 5th wave alone.

		In response to the Japanese air threat of their era, the CIMARRON class oilers were constructed with one 5-inch gun, and a dozen 40mm guns (by 1946, four of the 40mm had been replaced by two twin mounts of the then-new 3-inch AA gun).
		The real purpose of the visit was to carry out a survey of the island's topography and resources, presumably to determine its suitablity as a US Naval base.
