Gun carriage
A gun carriage is a sturdy frame or platform that supports a large artillery gun or cannon, allowing it to be moved, aimed, and fired effectively. It provides stability, mobility, and structural integrity, ensuring the weapon can be operated safely and accurately. The carriage often includes wheels or tracks for transportation, and mechanisms for adjusting elevation and direction. In essence, it serves as the foundation that enables a heavy gun to function properly in various settings, whether on the battlefield or in a prepared position.
