Artillery (Cannon)

Artillery, specifically cannons, are large firearms designed to launch projectiles over long distances. Historically used in warfare, cannons fire explosive shells, solid shots, or canister shots to damage enemy fortifications or troop formations. They come in various types, such as field guns for mobility and siege guns for heavy firepower. Cannons are operated by crews and require careful aiming and teamwork. Their use has evolved from traditional black powder to modern artillery that incorporates advanced technology and precision targeting, playing a crucial role in military strategies throughout history.
