KH-179 155mm gun

this is what i used in my military days. this was the main force of korean army in world war2 and now we use it as our second main force of korean artillery.
it's maximum range is 30km. and we can make it farther by using RAP warhead which means "rocket assisted projectile". it is like if you fire this, the rocket propellant emits while it's flying and make it fly farther.
i remember that it is very tough to mount it on the ground. we had to dig ground about 1m and bury some part of this gun. in winter, we had hard time to dig frozen ground. it is powerful gun but its one weak point is spending much time to mount it.
