 During the development of the ''T42'' medium tank prototype (which would later become the [[M47]]), the initial armament requirement of the tank was to have an equivalent firepower to the [[M46]] tank. However, a British liaison officer objected to this specification saying it is no longer adequate, using the British [[20pdr_OQF_Mk.I_(84_mm)|20-pdr cannon]] as an example of a more powerful tank armament in service.<ref name="Hunnicutt_1984(33-34)">Hunnicutt 1984, 33-34</ref>
-In response, the requirements was revised that upon the T42's approval for production, the specification called for the ''90 mm gun T119'' to be used, which could use {{Annotation|APDS|Armor-Piercing Discarding-Sabot}} rounds in the armour-piercing shell. However, the gun maintains the same chamber volume as the previous [[M3 (90 mm)|90 mm M3 gun]], but rated for a much higher maximum pressure. This means that the T119 was able to fire older rounds for the 90 mm M3, but also newer, higher-pressure rounds for more ballistic performance. To prevent mix-ups of the T119's higher-pressure rounds being loaded into the 90 mm M3 gun, the casing was modified that would prevent loading into the older gun.<ref name="Hunnicutt_1984(33-34)"/> The gun was mounted in the T42 tank in the Mount T139.<ref name="Hunnicutt_1984(451)">Hunnicutt 1984, 451</ref>

-After the T42's adoption for production as the M47 in 01 November 1950, the Army Field Forces continued to evaluate the tank prior to its standardization. As such, the T119 was still in its prototype designation (later redesignated to T119E1 for unspecified reasons). One change in the T119 design was the replacement of the single baffle muzzle brake with a cylindrical blast deflector. However, after the the M47's standardization in 08 April 1952, the 90 mm gun T119E1 was standardized as the '''90 mm gun M36''', with Mount M78. Another change to the muzzle brake after its standardization was the replacement of the cylindrical blast deflector with a T-shaped deflector.<ref name="Hunnicutt_1984(52-59)">Hunnicutt 1984, 52-59</ref>

 A lightweight 90 mm gun design would later be developed for the [[M48A1|90 mm Gun Tank T48]] tank prototype, based off the ballistics of the 90 mm gun M36. This would eventually be designated the [[M41 (90 mm)|90 mm gun M41]].<ref name="Hunnicutt_1984(85)">Hunnicutt 1984, 85</ref>
