Summary

[edit]
Description

Mount Longdon - Mount Tumbledown in the distance.

An abandoned Argentine 105mm recoilless gun. This was one of the larger support weapons deployed by the Argentine forces in defence of the Falklands and Port Stanley. It had a range of 1,800m (direct) and 9,600m (indirect) firing an 11kg high explosive (HE) round or a 15kg anti-armour round (HEAT). They were deployed on a two wheel trailer and could either be fired from the carriage or dismounted and fired from a fixed ground position, as in this example.
