The rate of fire of the Puma is to slow the 50mm KwK39/1l/60 with 2700 fps/ap rounds had a semi-automatic action! |

with a better rate of fire over the field AT gun. |

heh, most of ww2 guns were semi-auto...
sry to dissapoint u, but no tank had RoF faster than same caliber ATG for sure. and Puma had even less space than tank with same gun as there was less space + KwK39/1 had MB that slowered practical RoF even more. tho u r rite, it should be chnaged...to be slower than KwK39 of PzIII |

t did not think the mkIII had a semi-automatic action with there 50mm their for concluded the reload would be faster with the Puma! because have never read any info to tell me this. |

The pigs head Mantlet as it was called had a specially made turret Mantlet/100mm face with compact recoil mechanism. |

well Puma had same KwK39 gun but with shorter recoil move due to Muzzle Break installed .
Pig mantley has nothing to do with it . And it never had 10cm armor ... And the lesser recoil move was achieved by installing muzzle break (nothing to do with compact recoil machanism ). Now just picture the process of reloading in Pz.III turret and then try to compare it with Puma's turret space . Plus it doesn't matter how fast the loader loads as muzzle blast after each shot of KwK39/1 (as it had MB) would blind gunner for a several seconds...actually one of the main reasons they didn't have MB for neither KwK34/38/39 nor for F-34/ZIS-5/M2/M3, etc.... anyway, i hope u r jocking here |
