Developed from the British QF 6-pounder, the 57mm M1 anti-tank gun was introduced in 1943 into US Army units and was the standard anti-tank gun by mid 1944, serving in Italy and Northern Europe. While it struggled to penetrate heavy German armour frontally it was effective in combat, being handy to manoeuvre, easily concealed, and capable of a rapid rate of fire.
In games of Bolt Action the 6-pounder can be included in Artillery Platoons and is a Medium Anti-tank gun, that can be towed by most vehicles.
