The QF 12 pounder 12cwt is a British 76.2mm naval gun, which was introduced and modified extensively in Oceanyka since its inception. In this country it is usually dubbed the "multipurpose gun" or the "everything-killer". It can fire HEI, HE-frag, APHE and APDS with contact fuzes, timed fuzes and proximity fuzes. The extremely wide variety of munitions available justify the "multipurpose gun" name, as the QF-12 can be used to engage targets on air, sea and land.
