French 75 mm gun

The French 75 mm gun, officially known as the "Canon de 75 modèle 1897," is an artillery piece developed in France and introduced in the late 19th century. Notable for its quick rate of fire and high maneuverability, it played a crucial role during World War I. The gun features a unique design with a recoil mechanism that allows it to be fired rapidly without needing to reposition after each shot. Its ability to fire shrapnel and explosive shells made it effective against infantry and fortifications, establishing it as one of the most successful artillery pieces of its time.
