The Canon d’Infanterie de 37 modèle 1916 TRP (37mm mle.1916) was a French infantry support gun first used during World War I. TRP stands for tir rapide Puteaux (fast-firing designed by the Atelier de Puteaux). The tactical purpose of this gun was the destruction of machine gun nests. It was also used on aircraft such as the Beardmore W.B.V and the Salmson-Moineau. Fighter ace René Fonck used a 37mm mle.1916 on a SPAD S.XII.
