This video appears to showcase a French 50mm Mle 1937 mortar, framed within the context of "EDC" (Everyday Carry) and military history. The title and hashtags suggest a focus on historical military equipment, potentially presented with a modern or tactical slant. Given the nature of the item (a mortar), the "EDC" aspect might be ironic or intended to highlight the historical significance of portable military ordnance.
This video delves into the French Mle 1937 25mm Puteaux anti-tank gun, a lightweight and mobile weapon developed by the Puteaux arsenal after WWI to counter emerging tank threats. The analysis highlights its 25mm caliber, long barrel for high muzzle velocity (3150 fps), effective accuracy, and low firing signature thanks to a flash hider. It discusses the gun's mobility, capable of being moved by horse or motor vehicle, and its aiming systems (4x optic and iron sights). The video notes the 1285 units produced before the 1940 armistice, its service in the Battle of France, and post-war use by German, Spanish, and Finnish forces. The specific example shown has a Finnish property tag. The video credits DriveTanks.com for access to the cannon.
