The 76 mm regimental gun M1927 was a Soviet infantry support gun developed in the late 1920s. It was intended to replace the obsolete 76 mm regimental gun M1902, which had a limited range and a low rate of fire. The M1927 had a longer barrel, a larger breech, and a modern recoil system. It could fire high-explosive, armor-piercing, and shrapnel shells. The M1927 was used in the early stages of World War II, but it soon proved inadequate against the German tanks and fortifications. It was gradually replaced by the more powerful 76 mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3). The M1927 was also exported to China, Mongolia, and Spain, where it saw action in various conflicts.
