Weapons and Munitions of War: Part 3, Artillery Weapons
Abstract
Our Field Artillery has just been rearmed, with an entirely new type of gun. That is to say, it is new in the sense that it differs in almost every essential particular from that which it supersedes; the type itself is one which, in its general characteristics if familiar to our artillery officers, and all important foreign nations have now adopted something more or less similar to it. The weapon belongs to the class known as 'rapid firers.' This term is a convenient designation, but cannot be considered as an accurately descriptive title, since rapidity of fire is not by any means the only, or even the most important characteristic of the type.
