A list of artillery catalogues types of weapons found in batteries of national armed forces' artillery units. Some weapons used by the infantry units, known as infantry support weapons, are often misidentified as artillery weapons because of their use and performance characteristics, sometimes known colloquially as the "infantryman's artillery"〔p.38, Margiotta〕 which has been particularly applied to mortars.〔Fowler, W., ‘Mortars—The Infantryman's Artillery’, Defence, 17/8 (Aug. 1986).〕 The distinguishing feature of infantry support weapons from artillery weapons is in the unit that provides the personnel for the weapon crew. The list does not differentiate between guns and cannons although some designations use one word or the other. The word "cannon" is of Latin origin, borrowed into the English language from the French, while "gun" appears to be of German language origin and is found in earlier use in England. There is almost universal use of gunner in the English language to refer to artillery personnel, and not the French term ''cannonier''.〔originally an engineer that managed the cannon, CAN, Johnson〕 Some English speaking armies do use the originally French term bombardier as a rank in artillery units. :''See also list of artillery by name and list of artillery by country.'' == Recoilless guns == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「list of artillery by type」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
