The QF 6 pounder Nordenfelt was a light 57 mm naval gun and coast defence gun of the late 19th century used by many countries.Note that this gun should not be confused with the short-barreled 57 mm Cockerill-Nordenfelt Canon de caponnière or fortification gun which was used to arm the German A7V tank in World War I.Nordenfelt guns can be visually differentiated from equivalent and similar Hotchkiss guns by having slimmer barrels than the Hotchkiss hence the Nordenfelt was considerably lighter.
