[edit] Summary
The Smith Gun was invented by the chief engineer of the Trianco Engineering Company, Sheffield. It was developed as a private venture in 1940 and offered to the British Army as an emergency gun for issue to the Home Guard.
It was a 3-inch smoothbore barrel mounted in a light carriage that consisted of little more than two wheels and an axle. A limber was provided to carry ammunition.
The projectile was a 3-inch mortar shell propelled by a small chage of smokeless powder filre by a 0.38 pistol blank cartridge.
None saw any action and they were declared obsolete in 1945.
Photographed at the Imperial War Museum, Fort Nelson on 26-Apr-06.
