Solothurn S-18/1000

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Solothurn S-18/1000 was a 20mm German-designed anti-tank rifle manufactured in Switzerland and used during the Second World War. It was a variant of the earlier S-18/100 modified for higher muzzle velocity and a larger cartridge, though the more powerful ammunition produced significant recoil for the gunner and the weapon's size made it difficult to carry.
