This video from Forgotten Weapons explores the Solothurn S18-1000 20mm cannon and its accompanying wheeled carriage. The description highlights how antitank rifles, despite their substantial firepower, were often cumbersome. The wheeled mount for the S18-1000 was designed to improve transportability, allowing the heavy weapon to be pulled by crew, draft animals, or light vehicles. It featured elevation adjustments and trail arms for recoil management. Although a scarce accessory today, the carriage represented an effort to bring heavy infantry firepower to a more mobile role.
