At the outbreak of war, the QF 2-pdr (QF stands for 'quick firing') was the British Army's standard anti-tank gun. It was a suitable weapon at the time, being slightly more effective in terms of armor penetration than the contemporary German 37 mm PaK 36. However, it was larger and heavier and used an unusual carriage that required the wheels to be removed before it could fire. Unlike the early armored vehicles, light vehicles, and the poorly armored Japanese tanks, it performed well and was popular, achieving success in France, North Africa, and the Far East.
