The 76-mm regimental gun model 1927 (Russian: 76-мм полковая пушка образца 1927 года) was a Soviet infantry support gun developed in 1927. The gun entered production in 1928. On June 22, 1941 the Red Army had 4,708 of these guns. The gun was intended for destruction of light field fortifications and openly placed personnel by direct fire. HEAT shell gave it limited anti-tank capabilities. In 1943 the gun was replaced by the 76-mm regimental gun M1943, but remained in service until the end of the war.
