Historical Overview and Usage

The Ordnance QF 2-pounder, a 40 mm caliber iconic British anti-tank gun, was used from the outbreak of World War II in 1939. It served on many fronts, including the French campaign (1940), the battles in North Africa, during operations in Burma, and in the defense of the British Isles. This gun was the core anti-tank weapon for British infantry until 1942, when its armor penetration capability became limited by the emergence of newer, more heavily armored German tanks. Also used by other Commonwealth countries such as Australia and Canada, it was an integral part of Allied armament during World War II.
