Correct, though JT's suggestion would probably be as militarily useful.

Entered Service with the RAF Regt in 1942 and was deisgned by Mr Smith (Chief Engineer) of Trianco ( The Toy Company). The Smooth bore gun fired a cast iron exploding projectile or a 3 inch mortar bomb. The Smith Gun was never fired in anger by The RAF Regt and was obsolete by 1945

Gimme a mo to find new question.
