The Lahti L-39 is a Finnish xx mm anti-tank rifle used during the Second World War. It had splendid accuracy, penetration as well as range, but its size made transportation difficult. It was nicknamed "Norsupyssy" ("Elephant Gun"), as well as every bit tanks developed armour every bit good thick for the Lahti to penetrate its uses switched to long hit sniping, tank harassment as well as alongside the L-39/44 fully automatic variant, occupation every bit an improvised anti-aircraft weapon.
Aimo Lahti had doubts near the master copy thought of a xiii mm anti-tank machine gun as well as started working on a xx mm design. Officers who wanted smaller calibre anti-tank weapons believed that the muzzle velocity of xx mm shells was insufficient to penetrate armour as well as a weapon alongside a higher charge per unit of measurement of burn as well as inwards a smaller calibre would seek useful. As a result, Lahti designed 2 competing anti-tank weapons: a 13.2 mm machine gun as well as a xx mm rifle. After examination firing both weapons inwards 1939, they industrial plant life that the xx mm rifle displayed amend penetration.
The rifle is a semi-automatic, gas operated weapon alongside the piston located beneath the barrel as well as ammunition feed from detachable top-mounted magazine alongside bottom ejection for the spent cartridges. To bring down recoil, the rifle is equipped alongside a 5 hole muzzle brake as well as a padded leather recoil pad. The barrel had a wooden jacket every bit to allow transportation after firing.
During the Winter War (1939–1940) Republic of Finland lacked anti-tank weaponry. Only 2 xx mm rifles as well as a few 13.2 mm machine guns made it to the front, where the 13.2 mm machine guns were industrial plant life to live ineffective as well as unreliable spell the larger xx mm rifles proved successful against Soviet armour. Because of this, Republic of Finland endure settled on the xx mm pattern as well as started production.
The gun was also widely used inwards the Cold Charlie counter-sniper technique, where the Finns would purpose a mannequin posing every bit an officeholder sloppily roofing himself. Soviet snipers would burn upon the mannequin, as well as the Finns would as well as therefore supply burn at the Soviet snipers alongside the Lahti L-39.
Several of the rifles remained inwards service after World War II serving every bit an anti-helicopter weapon, spell many others were sold to collectors, to a greater extent than ofttimes than non inwards the United States. Today the rifles, specially those inwards working condition, are quite rare as well as highly sought after. Some deactivated weapons (with a steel bar welded into the chamber) convey been reactivated due to their value. Ammunition is rare. Often they are rechambered to .50 BMG to lower the toll of use. In the the States of America, civilian ownership remains possible, depending on the world as well as federal laws. Because the weapon fires rounds larger than .50 calibre, it is considered a destructive device as well as is bailiwick to the 1934 National Firearms Act. Civilian ownership is theme on compliance alongside this police line as well as whether one's the world police line prohibits civilian ownership of destructive devices.
Users industrial plant life the L-39 to live heavy as well as hard to motion inwards the battlefield. Even its magazine weighed almost 2 kilograms. The magazines had a covered viewing slit on the correct side to betoken the release of rounds left inwards the magazine, as well as a 15-round magazine was afterward developed for anti-aircraft use.
The whole weapon weighed about fifty kilograms as well as it was commonly towed yesteryear horses, but when stripped downwards could live carried yesteryear several men. The rifle had adjustable atomic release 26 sights calibrated betwixt 200 as well as 1,400 meters as well as was equipped alongside odd dual bipod, alongside 2 sets of legs, i alongside spikes for purpose on hard the world as well as the other alongside skids for purpose on softer the world or snow.
In the field, a two-man squad was assigned to the gun to motion as well as burn it. Some rifles were abandoned inwards the rut of battle, but they were tardily to replace. By the terminate of the state of war over 1900 L39s had been manufactured yesteryear VKT (Valtion Kivääritehdas, "State Rifle Factory", modern solar daytime Patria) as well as lay inwards the field.
