The 7.5 cm le IG 18 was a Light Infantry Gun produced by Rheinmetall. The crew was protected by an armored shield. It weighed 440 kgs (970lbs) and the HE shields were 6kgs ( 13 lbs). It had a range of 3550 meters ( 3882 yds). Anti-tank usage, with hollow charge shells, was planned but barely used due to lack of effectivity. First units had spoked, wooden wheels for horse traction, later models had metal wheels with rubber tyres (CMBN depicts these). Due to the relative small size of these guns one crew member usually was kneeling on the end of the trail to provide extra stability on firing (not modelled in CMBN). This is my 42th Vehicle/Gun Mod and has been weathered and dirtied as I always do.
