The Type 94 37mm Anti-Tank Gun was a light infantry weapon developed by the Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s. It was designed to counter the increasing use of tanks by enemy forces, especially the Soviet Union. The gun had a high-velocity, armor-piercing shell that could penetrate up to 25mm of steel at 500 meters. The gun was mounted on a two-wheeled carriage that could be easily towed by horses or trucks. The gun crew consisted of three men: a gunner, a loader, and a commander.
The Type 94 37mm Anti-Tank Gun saw action in various conflicts, such as the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Soviet-Japanese Border Wars, and World War II. However, it soon became obsolete as enemy tanks improved their armor and mobility. The gun was unable to penetrate the armor of most Allied tanks, such as the M4 Sherman and the T-34. The gun was also vulnerable to enemy fire due to its low profile and lack of protection. The Type 94 37mm Anti-Tank Gun was eventually replaced by more powerful anti-tank weapons, such as the Type 1 47mm Anti-Tank Gun and the Type 97 20mm Anti-Tank Rifle.
