Howitzer


Howitzer:
Many of the different types of howitzers of the 20th century came from howitzer designs from centuries before that and the idea just evolved. The howitzer was mainly used by the German army in World War I but was also used by other countries at that time. The howitzer had a long barrel and multi charge propellant. These more modern weapons could sometimes cost up to millions on dollars because of the precision put into them. the weapon could shoot at a short distance and could cause great damage to crowds and large objects that are nearby. Depending on the type of howitzer, this piece of artillery could take up to nine men to operate during war. It was very effective at short ranges and could be shot using a variety of angles.
