Q739637
The Polsten was a Polish development of the 20 mm Oerlikon gun. The Polsten was designed to be simpler and much cheaper to build than the Oerlikon, without reducing effectiveness. It was widely produced and used by the British Army and many allied and commonwealth forces, including production in Canada and Australia.
1944 — 1950
