60/45 Anti-tank Gun Mod.1945
The 60/45 Anti-tank Gun Mod.1945 was an indigenous design that was built in Spain, and it was based upon lessons learned from using the German, Russian, and United States anti-tank guns that the Spanish had acquired.

The M-40 106mm Recoilless Gun was a US-designed 105mm calibre recoilless rifle that was extensively used during and after the Korean War. It was designated as a 106mm calibre weapon to avoid confusion with the M-27 105mm Recoilless Rifle, which used different ammunition.
