Description

The 105 mm Gun XM35, originally designated as the 105 mm Gun EX35 and later type-classified as the 105 mm Gun M35, was a rifled low recoil tank gun developed in the 1980’s by the Watervliet Arsenal’s Benet Laboratory for the US Army. It was a low recoil variant of the tried and true M68 series, used on American tanks since designed to be used on light armored vehicles rather than full size tanks.
