"The US 10th Mountain Division was a unique formation in the US Army and had some equipment that other divisions didn't field. One of these was the T32 Mountain Infantry Gun. This light 37mm gun could be broken down and carried in a light vehicle or on the back of a pack mule. In combat the T32 gun was mounted on a tripod similar to a .50 cal machine-gun tripod."

There's one preserved at the Rock Island Arsenal museum. If you google "T32 Infantry Gun" as an image search it should show up in the first few pictures. |

Thanks, neat piece of kit for hitting bunker slits!
Very like the French WW1 37mm close support gun. |

Too cool! Kind of the 40mm grenade launcher of its day! I've see pics of US troops in WW1 using the earlier French gun. |

Japanese paras used another very similar weapon – the Type 11 37mm Infantry Gun. |
