40x95R Ramirez de Arellano, Spanish derivative of the 37 mm Hotchkiss

[MINENAZ16]

Thank you,
I assume same construction for the 37mm on the right (base plug, inert filling for instruction)

The spanish catalog said its a solid round but it sounds like having sand or iron powder inside.

The 40mm Ramirez de Arellano gun as it is in the Burgos Military Museum, Spain.

The idea of using the whells as a protective shield was not new in 1927 but the gun was adopted officially in the Spanish army. Some guns were still in the 1945 inventory.
