not like that it wouldn't be very effective out at long range but maybe around 1500yds would be max range with effectiveness

m3 is too slow tracer lol why use that when the 57mm can traverse 360 degrees and can be mounted on the jeeps 50cal mount and it could use sabot rounds to kill heavier tanks and HE rounds for m3s or other litely armored vehicles

"The U.S. M18 57mm Recoilless Rifle saw service late in WWII and in to the Korean War. It was superseded by a 75mm gun."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M18_recoilless_rifle

"The first fifty production M18 57 mm cannons and ammunition were rushed from the factories to the European Theater in March 1945. Further examples were subsequently sent to the Pacific Theater. The first combat the new cannon saw was with the U.S. Army's 17th Airborne Division near Essen, Germany.

How about you supply your data.

You aren't exactly known for accuracy right now, re: Ta183.

I already did. He's right. The history of the 57mm isn't exactly classified.

Why don't you do some research or at least someone that knows how to do it for you?

Please show me one bit of data or picture of a jeep mounted with either a 57mm or 75mm recoilless rifle used during WW2.  Because I know these things are challenging for you, I'll give you a hint...recoilless rifles mounted on jeeps weren't used in World War 2.

     Ouch, if you are going to give someone grief...I'd advise not starting with Akak, Lusche or Guppy.   Like going from T-Ball to MLB
