Howitzer

The howitzer is an artillery weapon that falls between a cannon and a mortar, capable of low and high angle fire. It has evolved over the centuries to become more mobile and versatile, with the introduction of rifling in the mid-19th century leading to significant changes in design and usage. Throughout World War I and World War II, howitzers played significant roles in combat, particularly in trench warfare and artillery-heavy strategies, and are now often self-propelled and capable of firing at high angles.learn more on wikipedia
