(Russian: 107-мм пушка образца 1910/30 годов)
The gun was based on an artillery piece originally developed by the French arms manufacturer Schneider prior to World War I and used by the Russian Empire as the 107 mm gun M1910. The modernized variant, adopted in 1931, differed from the original design mainly by having a larger chamber and longer barrel, resulting in longer range. The M1910/30 remained in production until the mid-1930s and was employed by the Red Army in World War II, mainly in corps artillery and Reserve of the Main Command units. A number of captured guns were used by the Wehrmacht. Weight of the gun was 5,689 lbs, muzzle velocity was 2,198 ft. per second, maximum range was 17,887 yards.
