The L/43 version was mounted on the Panzer IV and StuG III for a short period from February 1942 until August 1942. All 225 vehicles of the Panzer IV F2 mounted the L/43 version with a ball shaped muzzle brake. A couple hundred out of 1687 vehicles of the Panzer IV Ausf. G mounted L/43 with a double baffle muzzle brake. The StuG III with the L43 was designated as Ausf. F. Only 120 of the 366 StuG III Ausf.F mounted the L/43 version. The remaining 246 StuG III Ausf. F had the longer L/48 version. All Ausf. F/8 and G of StuG III mounted the longer L/48.

  • The L/43 version was mounted on the Panzer IV and StuG III for a short period from February 1942 until August 1942. All 225 vehicles of the Panzer IV F2 mounted the L/43 version with a ball shaped muzzle brake. A couple hundred out of 1687 vehicles of the Panzer IV Ausf. G mounted L/43 with a double baffle muzzle brake. The StuG III with the L43 was designated as Ausf. F. Only 120 of the 366 StuG III Ausf.F mounted the L/43 version. The remaining 246 StuG III Ausf. F had the longer L/48 version. All Ausf. F/8 and G of StuG III mounted the longer L/48. The L/48 was 334mm (13.1 inches) longer and slightly more powerful than the L/43. L/48 became the standard gun from June 1942 until the end of World War II. The gun was fitted with an electric firing mechanism and the breech operated semi-automatically. Only fixed ammunition was used. * Following number of vehicles mounted L/48 version from June 1942-April 1945 * Approximately 6000 vehicles of Ausf. G, H, J out of 8800 Panzer IV * 7720 vehicles of StuG III Ausf. G + 246 of Ausf.F + 250 vehicles of StuG III Ausf. F/8 * All 1139 vehicles of StuG IV * All 175 vehicles of Marder III Ausf. H + All 975 vehicles of Ausf. M * 780 vehicles out of 1998 vehicles of Jagdpanzer IV, the rest mounted 7.5 cm KwK 42. As with the Pak 40, the muzzle brake of the KwK 40 and Stuk 40 went through a series of design changes. Five types of muzzle brakes were used, gradually increasing the area of exposure to the blast. The designs progressed from tubular type double baffle muzzle brakes to single baffle ball shape muzzle brakes, which proved to be insufficient in reducing recoil, followed by a double flange type from May 1943. The front flange and rear disk type was used from March 1944, followed finally by the double disc type.
