The Solothurn-Arsenal was an Estonian reverse-engineered copy of the Swiss S-18/100 anti-tank rifle. It was manufactured without license in Estonia between 1938 and 1940. Apart from the prototypes, only 20 were produced and deployed with 1st and 7th Infantry Regiments by the time of Soviet invasion in 1940.[1]
