Fotogaléria Poľná pištoľ QF 25pdr Mark II, The Ordnance QF 25-pounder, or more simply 25-pounder or 25-pdr, was the major British field gun and howitzer during World War II. It was introduced into service just before the war started, combining high-angle and direct-fire, relatively high rates of fire, and a reasonably lethal shell in a highly mobile piece. It remained the British Army’s primary artillery field piece well into the 1960s, with smaller numbers serving in training units until the 1980s. Many Commonwealth of Nations countries used theirs in active or reserve service until about the 1970s and ammunition for the weapon is currently being produced by Pakistan Ordnance Fac. The Mark II: namontovaný na vozíku Mark I bola štandardná zbraň počas druhej svetovej vojny. Boli postavené v Austrálii a Kanade, ale väčšinou vo Veľkej Británii. Dodávky (z výroby vo Veľkej Británii) sa začali začiatkom roku 1940 a prvýkrát vstúpili do služby s kanadským plukom umiestneným vo Veľkej Británii v máji 1940. Vo Francúzsku sa nestratili žiadne Ordnance 25-pr Mk 2 na Carriage 25-pr Mark 1. Táto zbraň vystrelila všetky náboje, 1 - 3 a Super. V roku 1942 bola na pištoľ namontovaná úsťová brzda, aby sa eliminovala nestabilita spôsobená pri streľbe z 20 lb AP plášťa s Charge Super pri priamom uhle streľby v nízkych nadmorských výškach. Aby sa zachovala rovnováha zbrane na trunnionoch, bolo tiež namontované vyvažovacie závažie, tesne pred krúžkom. Označenie upravenej zbrane sa nezmenilo. Nakoniec boli všetky zbrane slúžiace v Európe takto prestavané.

The QF 25pdr Mark II Field Gun was a British artillery piece used during the Second World War. It was designed to fire both high-explosive and armour-piercing shells, making it a versatile weapon for both direct and indirect fire. The gun had a calibre of 87.6 mm and a barrel length of 3.45 m. It could fire up to eight rounds per minute at a maximum range of 12.25 km. The gun was mounted on a split-trail carriage that allowed it to be towed by a truck or a tractor. The gun crew consisted of six men: the commander, the layer, the loader, the breech operator, the ammunition number and the driver. The QF 25pdr Mark II Field Gun was widely used by the British Army and its Commonwealth allies in various theatres of war, such as North Africa, Europe and Asia. It was also exported to several countries after the war, such as Israel, India and Pakistan. The gun was praised for its accuracy, reliability and mobility, and was considered one of the best field guns of its time.
