What is the french 75 during world war 1?
The French "75" was a howitzer, a large gun used for firing in a
high arc onto the enemy. The French 75 was a huge leap in
technology of large guns, as it used a hydraulic mechanism to use
the recoil of the gun to work the action, and also made the recoil
of the gun less. This allowed the French 75 to fire at a much
greater rate than contemporary guns.
