The description highlights its self-contained cartridge ammunition, recoil-absorbing mount, and steep depression angle. It's noted that the 47mm bore gun, also known as the 3-pounder in British service, used a vertically-traveling breech block, with over 3,000 acquired by the British. The specific example featured was once part of the Falkland Islands coastal defenses and has been refurbished for ceremonial use.
