*'''''Cannone da 47/32 or the Elefantino Gun''''': The Italians' primary antitank weapon, this gun, nicknamed ‘little elephant’, was about on par with a British 2-pounder while having access to high explosive shells. It was designed to have maximum impact at short ranges and was relatively light for a weapon of its kind, though this was achieved by [[Fail|removing any kind of gun shield and using an odd axle that would break if towed, meaning these things had to be pushed into battle.]] A slightly more powerful version was used in Italy's early tank designs, but the gun would remain primarily an infantry weapon until the end of the war.

*'''''Cannone da 90/53''''': Originating as a naval cannon, the 90/53 was later modified for terrestrial use in the form of antiaircraft and antitank guns. In this role it was surprisingly effective, much like the German 88. It had enough punch to blast open any Allied tank fielded in North Africa and Italy. It also served as the main armament of the Semovente 90/53, and while that vehicle had many issues its gun wasn’t one of them. Unfortunately for the Italians, only about 500 were built, and out of those only 48 were made for AFVs.

*'''''Obice da 75/18 Modello 34''''': Designed as a mountain gun first and foremost (I mean, you ever been to Italy?), the gun was designed to be disassembled and reassembled quickly and efficiently. Also had a nice punch to it, forming the basis of the Semovente 75/18. Probably better known for the funny heatshield-style barrel.
