As far as I remember it RARDEN actually stands for:
Royal Armaments Research & Development, ENfield. Ian Dunster 14:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've heard that - I also note that some don't use all caps but have "Rarden" as for Sten GraemeLeggett 15:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I also often see it as "Rarden" and have been told that it's not an acronym.Jrssr5 20:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- It may be a made up name, rather than an acronym. However, the EN would have come from the RSAF Enfield and RARD may have come from RARDE - Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment.Pyrotec 20:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Naval Use
[edit]As a former user I can remember back in the late 70's early 80's they were fitted to ships. I seem to remember small patrol craft pictures with them mounted on the front and also possibly the RN had some fitted after the Falklands ? Jim Sweeney (talk) 13:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- You may be referring to the DES/MSI 30B L75. I am trying to unearth more information on this HLGallon (talk) 14:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- they were available some units in the RN like the minesweepers in '80s.
Proper name
[edit]Is it RARDEN or Rarden? Is it both? Currently, both are used very inconsistently here and elsewhere. TaintedMustard (talk) 02:11, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
T-62 ko's?
[edit]From frontal shots. Is it even credible? T-62 has 100 mm at 60°, it seems to me really a bit too much (not even a 83 mm APDS can KO's a T-62 in a reliable manner).
