The '''Canon de 76 FRC''' was a Belgian [[Engineering:Infantry support gun|infantry support gun]], produced by the Fonderie Royale des Canons (FRC). The gun was typically of 76&nbsp;mm calibre; however, an optional 47&nbsp;mm barrel could be fitted instead. The gun was designed for transport via a trailer [[Engineering:Towing|towed]] by a vehicle. In 1940, the Wehrmacht redesignated these as '''7.6&nbsp;cm IG 260(b)'''. At the start of World War II, 198 of these guns had been produced.
