Cannon Ordnance Quick-Firing (QF) 17-pounder 76.2 mm caliber entered service with the British Army in 1943. It was a classic towed anti-tank gun, designed from the very beginning to fight even the heaviest armored German vehicles of that time (1943). In the course of service, it turned out to be probably the best Allied anti-tank gun. on the equipment of the allied forces. The 17-pounder gun was also mounted on several Allied vehicles - e.g. the Sherman Firefly tank. This cannon used several types of missiles. One of such missiles was the APC (ang. Armor Piercing Capped), which, however, was only used by Sherman Firefly tank crews. Another type of missile was the APCBC - structurally similar to the American M62A1 for the M1 Tank Gun - which could penetrate 150 mm of armor at a distance of 1,000 meters. A significant change in quality was the use of an APDS missile, i.e. an anti-tank sabotage missile, which theoretically could penetrate as much as 233 mm of armor from a distance of 1000 meters, but in practice this value was slightly lower. This missile began to enter the equipment at the beginning of July 1944. It is worth mentioning the HE type shell, which, however, was used less frequently than the above-mentioned types of shells, given the tasks of the 17-pound gun.
