The Ordnance QF 32 pounder or (32-pdr) was a British 94 mm gun, developed as a replacement for the Ordnance QF 17 pounder (17-pdr) anti tank and tank gun. Like the German 88 mm gun it was developed from an anti-aircraft (AA) gun, in this case the QF 3.7 inch AA gun. Developed during World War II the gun was used in the experimental Tortoise heavy tank and as a trial installation[citation needed] in a single de Havilland Mosquito fighter bomber. The 32-pdr fired a 32 lb armour piercing shot at a muzzle velocity of 2880 ft/s.

  • The Ordnance QF 32 pounder or (32-pdr) was a British 94 mm gun, developed as a replacement for the Ordnance QF 17 pounder (17-pdr) anti tank and tank gun. Like the German 88 mm gun it was developed from an anti-aircraft (AA) gun, in this case the QF 3.7 inch AA gun. Developed during World War II the gun was used in the experimental Tortoise heavy tank and as a trial installation[citation needed] in a single de Havilland Mosquito fighter bomber. The 32-pdr fired a 32 lb armour piercing shot at a muzzle velocity of 2880 ft/s. Development was halted with the end of the war, and the 17-pdr was replaced with the 20-pdr for tank use, and with the intention to develop guided weapons for infantry use. At least one 32 pounder was developed as an anti-tank gun on a wheeled carriage.
