Howitzer
A howitzer is a type of artillery piece characterized by a relatively short barrel and the use of comparatively small propellant charges to propel projectiles at relatively high trajectories, with a steep angle of descent. Until fairly recently, about the end of the Second World War, such weapons were characterized by a barrel length 15 to 25 times the caliber of the gun. In the taxonomies of artillery pieces used by European armies in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, the howitzer stood between the "gun" and the "mortar". Howitzers, like other artillery pieces, are usually organized in groups called batteries.
Howitzer
The howitzer () is a powerful ranged weapon that falls between cannon and a mortar. With its long-range capabilities and flat trajectories, howitzers can be used to great effect in a battery formation with other artillery pieces, such as long-barreled guns, mortars, and rocket artillery.
