The Army is equipped with light wheeled armored cars, some mounting cannon.

Bakassi is now armed only with 40 mm cannon.

There is no set template for what such a vehicle will look like, yet likely features include a large dozer blade or mine ploughs, a large calibre demolition cannon, augers, winches, excavator arms and cranes or lifting booms.

A cannon is any piece of artillery that uses gunpowder or other usually explosive-based propellents to launch a projectile.

The word cannon is derived from several languages, in which the original definition can usually be translated as tube, cane, or reed.

The plural of cannon is also cannon, though more commonly in America, cannons.

In the Middle East, the first use of the hand cannon is argued to be during the 1260 Battle of Ain Jalut between the Mamluks and Mongols.

As any explosive charge will dissipate in all directions equally, the thickest portion of the cannon is useful for containing and directing this force.

The backward motion of the cannon as its projectile leaves the bore is termed its recoil and the effectiveness of the cannon can be measured in terms of how much this response can be diminished, though obviously diminishing recoil through increasing the overall mass of the cannon means decreased mobility.

Bronze has several characteristics that made it preferable as a construction material: although it is relatively expensive, does not always alloy well, and can result in a final product that is " spongy about the bore ", bronze is more flexible than iron and therefore less prone to bursting when exposed to high pressure ; cast iron cannon are less expensive and more durable generally than bronze and withstand being fired more times without deteriorating.

On the top of the vent on the outside of the cannon is a flat circular space called the vent field where the charge is lit.

If the cannon is bronze, it will often have a vent piece made of copper screwed into the length of the vent.

The main body of a cannon consists of three basic extensions — the foremost and the longest is called the chase, the middle portion is the reinforce, and the closest and briefest portion is the cascabel or cascable.

It is the longest portion of the cannon, and includes the following elements:

It is often chamferred on the inside to make loading the cannon easier.

** The reinforce band is only present if the cannon has two reinforces, and it divides the first reinforce from the second.

In order to accommodate the new weapon, the 76. 2mm gun was replaced with a smaller 45 mm Gun M1932, though it was disguised to look like the standard 76 mm ( The cannon was placed inside 76mm tube ).

The 76. 2mm cannon had 96 rounds, the 45mm guns had 226 rounds, and the DT machine guns had 10, 080 cartridges.

( However, the idea of wheeled / tracked vehicle with a 76 mm cannon was not abandoned and the plant was commissioned to develop a new BT-7 turret from the turret of the T-26-4.

The surviving Syrian missile boat tried to escape, but it was stuck in shallow waters and was destroyed by 76 mm cannon fire at 00: 26 hours.

Guns are retained for niche roles, such as the Phalanx CIWS, a multi-barrel rotary cannon used for point defense, the Mark 45 5 inch, or the Otobreda 76 mm which is used for close defense against surface combatants and shore bombardment.

The M4A3 76 were M4A3 Shermans tanks fitted with a more powerful 76 mm cannon.

The Germans re-using captured 76. 2 mm Russian field cannon on Czechoslovak Praga tank chassis to form the potent and cost effective Marder tank destroyer.

Still, the Danish-Norwegian government produced more than 200 in two models: the shallop gunboat had a crew of 76 men, with an 18-or 24-pounder cannon in the bow and another in the stern.

The British developed their own SPAAGs throughout the war mounting multiple machine guns and light cannon on various tank and armoured car chassis and by 1943, the Crusader AA tanks, which mounted the Bofors 40 mm gun or two-three Oerlikon 20 mm cannon.

In aviation, cannon generally describes weapons firing bullets larger than 0. 5 inches ( 12. 7 mm ) in diameter.

For example, the Panzer III was originally designed with a 37 mm gun, but was mass produced with a 50 mm cannon.

To counter the threat of the Russian T-34s, another, more powerful 50 mm gun was introduced, only to give way to a larger 75 mm cannon, which was in a fixed mount as the StuG III, the most-produced German World War II armored fighting vehicle of any type.

Air-to-air missiles largely replaced guns and rockets in the early 1960s since both were believed unusable at the speeds being attained, however the Vietnam War showed that guns still had a role to play and most fighters built since then are fitted with cannon ( typically between 20 and 30 mm in caliber ) as an adjunct to missiles.

Its steeply-sloped front armour offered full protection against NATO's standard. 50 calibre machine gun and partial protection against 20 millimetre Oerlikon cannon both in a 60 degree frontal arc, while its 73 mm gun and ATGM were a threat to NATO APCs and even MBTs.

More crucial to the operations of the German military was Krupp's development of the famed 88 mm anti-aircraft cannon which found use as a notoriously effective anti-tank gun.

This was particularly apparent with the Sturmbock units which were armed with heavy 20 mm and 30 mm cannon to destroy heavy bombers.

** 2 × 20 mm Type 99 cannon in the wings, with 60 rounds per gun.

( 25. 4 mm ) caliber, flintlock revolver cannon able to fire 9 rounds before reloading, intended for use on ships.

Most notably, the long barreled 155 mm M185 cannon in the M178 gun mount, ballistic protection for the panoramic telescope, counterbalanced travel lock, and the ability to mount the M140 alignment device.

Replaces 155 mm M185 cannon in M178 mount with 39-caliber 155 mm M284 cannon in the M182 mount, giving the A5 a maximum range of 23, 500 meters with unassisted projectiles and 30, 000 meters with Rocket Assisted Projectiles ( RAP Rounds ).
