76.2mm Gun (AK-176M)
🎯 WeaponSoviet 76mm naval gun effective against sea, coastal, and aerial targets including anti-ship missiles.
The AK-176 is a Soviet 76mm naval gun mounted in an enclosed turret, that may be used against sea, coastal, and aerial targets, including low-flying anti-ship missiles. The system is designed to arm small displacement ships and comprises the Gun Mount with a MR-123-02/76 Fire Control Radar System.
The gun has high survivability owing to autonomous use of the gun mount controlled from the optical sight in the absence of control from the radar system, as well as a capability to fire even if power supply is lost.
Ammunition & Rate of Fire
The gun is fed by 152 ready-to-fire rounds and has selectable rates of fire of 30, 60 and 120 rounds per minute. The 120 rpm rate is achieved by firing a burst of 75, after which the gun must cool for 30 minutes. The AK-176 is effective against missiles, being able to shoot down AT-2 Swatter (simulating a Harpoon anti-ship missile), taking an average of 25 rounds per kill.
