The Ordnance QF 3 pounder Vickers (47mm / L50) was a British artillery piece first tested in Britain in 1903. It was used on Royal Navy warships. It was more powerful than and unrelated to the older QF 3 pounder Hotchkiss with a propellant charge approximately twice as large but it initially fired the same Lyddite and steel shells as the Hotchkiss.
