The 3.7cm FLAK37 was one of the most significant German anti-aircraft guns used by the German forces during WWII. Each clip contained 6 rounds and it could fire a maximum of 160 rounds per minute, or 80 rounds per minute at the normal rate. The FLAK37 was deployed to many fronts to defend airspace, and in the latter half of WWII it was also used in the anti-tank role armed with armour piercing shells. In addition, many FLAK37’s were mounted onto 8-ton Sd.Kfz 7/2 half-tracks and used as mobile anti-aircraft guns.
