Cannon designed based on the leIG 18for airborne troops. Designed in 1939 when 8 units were produced. Compared to the original gun, it had a different tube-arm laffe somewhat similar to the mountain gun of the same design bureau GebIG 18, but the arms were longer and the wheels were all-metal smaller than the basic model. It was dropped in four containers (each weighing about 140 kg) and folded on the ground. Production was only 8 units because the other paratrooper guns were on the principle of recoilless guns.
