The Gebirgsflak 38 was a light weight version of the 2 cm FlaK 38 designed for airborne and mountain troops as a dual purpose gun for use against air and ground targets.The main difference was that the carriage was smaller and lighter than the one for the FlaK 38.The gun and carriage are also designed to allow the weapon to be broken into several pack loads for transport.The carriage has two wheels and when raised the gun has a 360' traverse, unlike the Flak 38 the light carriage is not designed for high towing speeds.
