7.7 cm Feldkanone96 n.A - Walkaround - Musée Somme 1916.

Originally uploaded on 14 apr. 2018.

The 7.7 cm Feldkanone96 n.A. combined the barrel of the
earlier 7.7 cm FK 96 with a recoil system,
a new breech and a new carriage.

The FK 96 n.A. was shorter-ranged, but lighter than
the French canon de 75 modele 1897
or the British Ordnance QF 18 Pounder gun.
The gun proved to have great mobility, which
served the German army well during the early
stages of WWI.
But when the front became static,
the greater rate of fire of the French and Britsh
guns put the German army at a disadvantage.
