The 7.5 cm recoilless rifle Leichtgeschütz 40 (7.5 cm LG40) is a German WWII weapon designed for the needs of airborne units (Fallschirmjäger), but also used by mountain shooters. Design work began in early 1937 at the Rheinmetall concern, and the first units received the ready-made weapons in 1940. The gun used two types of missiles: high-explosive and anti-tank missiles. Due to the lightweight design, the first LG40s had an average life span of around 300 shots. The gun was baptized during Operation Mercury (landing in Crete in 1941) and was used on a large scale by German mountain shooters in the foothills of the Caucasus in 1942. The weapon remained in stock until the end of the war. The LG40 was very successful and liked by the soldiers because it was 90% lighter than the Pak40 gun, but with comparable ballistic properties of the shell. Technical data: range: 6800m, caliber: 75mm, combat weight: 145 kg, rate of fire: 8 shots / min.
