The Puteaux SA 18 was a French single-shot breech-loading cannon used from World War I onward primarily mounted on combat vehicles.It was a simple reliable weapon with a high rate of fire made possible by a semi-automatic breech system . It was primarily intended to be used against infantry and machine-gun nests due to its low muzzle velocity which proscribed anti-armour use. Though armour penetration was poor even as late as 1939 it was sufficient to combat light armoured vehicles.
