M114 Howitzer

The M114 Howitzer is a medium artillery piece that was widely used by the U.S. military and its allies from the 1940s through the 1980s. It has a 155mm caliber, meaning it fires shells that are 155mm in diameter, which allows for significant explosive capability. Designed for indirect fire, it can hit targets at long distances, making it effective for supporting ground troops. The M114 is towed by vehicles, allowing for mobility on the battlefield, and it plays a crucial role in providing artillery support during military operations.
