Type 3 75 mm Tank Gun
The ''Type 3 75 mm Tank Gun'' was used as the main armament of the Imperial Japanese Army Type 3 Chi-Nu medium tank. It was one of the largest guns ever to be fitted on a World War II Japanese tank.
== Design and use ==
The Type 3 had a caliber of , barrel length of .〔Tomczyk, Andrzej, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', AJ Press, 2005, p. 3. ISBN 83-7237-167-9.〕 As fitted to the Type 3 Chi-Nu, elevation was from -10 to +25 degrees.〔() Taki's Imperial Japanese Army〕 It had a muzzle velocity of and an armor penetration of 90 millimeters at a range of 100 meters and 65 millimeters at a range of 1,000 meters. It shot a 6.6 kilogram projectile. This gun was based on the Japanese Type 90 field gun which in turn was loosely based on the French Schneider et Cie ''Canon de 85 mle 1927''. The Type 3 gun was license-built by the Osaka Arsenal.〔Tomczyk, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', 2005, p. 3〕〔(History of War ) Type 3 Chi-Nu Medium Tank〕
The Type 3 Chi-Nu tank, in which the gun was mounted, was the most powerful tank in regular series production for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. By 1943, the low priority given to tank production meant that the Type 3 did not actually enter production until 1944. By that time, the material and industrial shortages faced by Japan caused production of the tank to be delayed.〔Tomczyk, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', 2005, p. 5〕 The Type 3 was allocated to the Japanese home islands to defend against the projected Allied Invasion. At least 6 tank regiments were equipped with Type 3 ''Chi-Nu'' tanks on Kyūshū and Honshū, including the 1st Tank Division and 4th Tank Division based around Tokyo. As the surrender of Japan occurred before that invasion, the Type 3 was never used in combat.〔Zaloga Steven J., ''Japanese Tanks 1939-45'', Osprey, 2007.〕 Between 1944 and 1945, a total of 166 Type 3 Chi-Nu tanks were produced.〔Tomczyk, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', 2005, p. 5〕
One surviving Type 3 medium tank with its Type 3 75 mm tank gun is on display at the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Military Ordnance Training School at Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, Japan.
