Nice T16 pics...but help identify Dutch AT Gun

[bubbaandshaff]

Thanks Tony. Anytime we go shooting my daughter insists she get some "trigger time."

I happened to also be searching the AWM photo archive this weekend, and ran across the same photo. I searched for "37mm," "anti-tank," "Java," "Suriname," and "Curacao." I could not find any photos of the Dutch gun, however there were some nice photos of 2pdrs and a couple of 25mm French Hotchkiss M1934 AT guns. One interesting fact that I learned was that the Australians called the P.I.A.T. the P.I.T.A. (Projector, Infantry, Tank Attack). I had never heard this before.

Speaking of PIAT/PITAs, does anyone have info on the PIAT subcaliber device. Ours has the filler tray that latches in the bomb trough, but I have never seen what it is used with.

I will talk with the Senior Ordnance Articifer and get his opinions on the quality of these guns.

Here is the only other photograph I could find in the AWM database. Obviously a US M3.
