Arsenal Builds Five Types of Tank Killers
Army ordnance at Watervliet Arsenal manufactures five major antitank gun types. The 51-caliber gun, 2.2-ton Meant for high velocity, delivers rapid rounds. The 90-sin dual purpose gun can fire both antitank and anti aircraft rounds in about four minutes. General Gillespie notes battlefield crews prove skill in targeting and loading. A cautionary tale recalls lipstick on bags causing rejections due to potential powder reaction.
