The . 7/2 was a standard . 7 halftrack mounted with a special superstructure to allow installation of a fully traversible 37mm Flak 36 anti-aircraft gun. The vehicle was designated as Flak 36/37/43 auf Selbstfahrlafette (. 7/2), depending on the model of 37mm gun used. The maximum rate of fire for the 37mm gun depended on the model and ranged from 160 to 360 rounds per minute. The guns were fitted with Flakvisier 36 and, later, with Flakvisier 40 gun sights and could be traversed 360 degrees by hand. Flak 36 and 37 guns could be elevated from -8 to 85 degrees, while the Flak 43 could be elevated from -10 to 90 degrees. The crew was composed of seven men-a gun commander, five gunners and a driver. The vehicle carried 120 rounds of 37mm ammunition. An additional 432 rounds were towed in a special single-axle trailer-the Sonder Anhaenger 57. Production of the . 7/2 started in 1942 and some 1,000 vehicles were built by January/February 1945.
