Design
The FK 38 had a longer barrel than the 7.5 cm FK 18 and was fitted with a cylindrical muzzle brake. Originally, this was an unusual six slot design, but it was later replaced by a standard German four port design. Early versions had wood-spoked wheels, but later models had pressed steel wheels with solid rubber tires and had sprung axles for motor transport. It used a semi-automatic version of the original breech mechanism and fixed ammunition instead of the original separate-loading rounds. These changes likely boosted its rate of fire over the FK 18 considerably.
