The 76-mm regimental gun model 1943 (Russian: 76-мм полковая пушка образца 1943 года) was a Soviet infantry support gun developed in 1943 by M. Yu. Tsiryul'nikov at the ordnance plant in Motovilikha. The gun used a modernized barrel from the 76-mm regimental gun M1927 and the carriage from the M-42 45 mm anti-tank gun. The gun was intended for destruction of light field fortifications and openly placed personnel by direct fire. HEAT shell gave it limited anti-armor capabilities. 76.2-mm regimental guns M1943 completely replaced M1927 guns in production that year and were built until the end of Great Patriotic War.
