7 . 5 cm Pak 41 The 7 . 5 cm PaK 41 was one of the last German anti - tank guns brought into service and used in World War II and notable for being one of the largest anti - tank guns to rely on the Gerlich principle ( pioneered by German gun - designer Hermann Gerlich who developed the principle in the 1920s , reportedly for a hunting rifle ) to deliver a higher muzzle velocity and therefore greater penetration in relation to its size . Design and development . Designed and built by Krupp AG to compete with the Rheinmetall 7 . 5 cm Pak 40 , the Pak 41 was intended from the onset to take advantage of the Gerlich principle to increase shot velocity . In addition to its squeeze bore design and use of a tungsten core flanged shell , the Pak 41 incorporated several novel features . One feature was that the barrel was split into three distinct sections : the rear part was parallel - sided and conventionally rifled ; the central part was unrifled and tapered down ; at the muzzle end , the last it was parallel - sided again but remained unrifled . Another novel feature was the attachment of the split trail legs and solid rubber tires directly to the gun shield to save weight . The gun cradle was set inside a special ball mount attached to the gun shield . The cradle itself was cylindrical , covering the whole of the rear half of the barrel . The weight of the powder charge fired is 95 percent of the weight of the projectile , which had an estimated velocity of approximately 1200 m / s ( 4 , 000 f / s ) , and a penetration of 15 cm ( 5 . 94 inches ) of homogeneous armor at 900 m ( 1 , 000 yards ) . The reinforced breech is of the vertical wedge type , with a semi - automatic action . Compared to the PaK 38 and the PaK 40 , the appearance was long , low , and sturdy . The gun is sighted up to 1 , 500 meters ; the sight has four scales for use according to the actual muzzle velocity of the gun . The barrel life is provisionally estimated as 500 to 600 rounds . Service . When first introduced , the 7 . 5 cm Pak 41 ' s performance would seem to indicate that it might supplant the Pak 40 as the standard issue anti - tank gun for the Wehrmacht . However , the emergent shell ' s velocity tended to drop dramatically over long range and accuracy and penetration suffered as a consequence . This factor along with a growing shortage of tungsten which was needed for the gun ' s special ammunition would ensure that only 150 Pak 41 ' s would ever be produced . Most Pak 41 ' s were scrapped when their barrels had worn out and / or their ammunition supply was exhausted , although it is believed that a small number of Pak 41 ' s were converted to accept 7 . 5 cm Pak 40 barrels and components . A small number were known to have been mounted on halftracks and used as lightly armored tank destroyers .
