Bolt Action - Soviet ZIS-2 Anti-Tank Gun (Winter) Australian Blister Packs In their thick winter clothingThe 57mm ZiS 2 was developed before the war to give anti tank artillery regiments a weapon capable of destroying heavily armoured tanks. It was a rapid firing semi automatic gun that could shoot up to 25 rounds a minute. ZiS 2 production was cancelled shortly after the outbreak of the war when it became clear that the armour thickness of Germans tanks had been greatly exaggerated. Contains 1 metal gun and 3 crew. Supplied unassembled and unpainted.
