history
The first drafts of the Type 41 cavalry gun began in 1905 and the design was a further development of the 75 mm field gun Type 38 , but was about 50 kg lighter and intended for use by the cavalry. Just like the Type 38, the Type 41 had a hydropneumatic recoil mechanism, a protective shield, and a single spar . A change to the Type 38 was the introduction of an interrupted screw cap on the Type 41 and the reduction in the weight of the grenades.
