Revision as of 17:38, 18 September 2013
I thought this was a Pak 38, but now that I see how similar it looks to the Pak 40, I'm not so sure anymore. Any thoughts? --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:47, 18 September 2013 (EDT)
- I think it is a Pak 40. I think if it was a 38 you would see a vertical projection of the lower shield by the far wheel. also, the bracket that holds the barrel to the recoil track has 3 bolts on a 38, and only 2 on a 40 and it looks like that only has the 2. Not 100% though as it is a very tight shot and a lot of the ways to tell them apart aren't visible. --commando552 (talk) 13:16, 18 September 2013 (EDT)
- Actually, I'm now swinging back to a 38 as it generally looks a bit small compared to the guy on the right, I think the outside parts of the shield may be curved rather than straight, and it is also missing the little piece of shield that is mounted under the gun itself which is on a 40.

- I just realised that there is a step down in the Pak 40 barrel a couple of feet ahead of the shield which is absent on this, confirming it is probably a 38. --commando552 (talk) 13:31, 18 September 2013 (EDT)
- The entire film is (legally) on Youtube. The scene starts here and lasts for about two minutes. I think the shield is curved as well, so it's a Pak 38. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:38, 18 September 2013 (EDT)
