Historic and technical information

Denomination :     7.6cm lMW n/A | Origin :       ( RheinMetall)           | ||||
Historic context :
The operational success of the light minenwerfer introduced in 1914, '7.58 cm lMW a/A', did not prevent it to be modernized in 1916, like its heavy brothers, mainly in order to increase its range by 30 %, and make its manufacturing easier and less expensive. |
