	Ordnance QF 25 pounder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 25 pounder was used in combat during the Battle of Mirbat in 1972 in Oman.
		The 25 pounder was the main field artillery gun used by British Commonwealth infantry divisions during the Second World War.
		However the 25 pdr was nevertheless considered by all to be one of the best artillery pieces in use, and in particular its HE round was particularly deadly due to excellent embrittlement of the metal casing.

		All four were by far and away the most used weapons of their type by their respective nations, and provided most of the "on-call" artillery fire support for their troops.
		The British 25 pounder (so-named for its nominal weight of shell) was a linear outgrowth of the pre-WWI 13-pounder and its much-improved 18-pounder replacement.
		One point he makes is the gun fired a projectile only slightly smaller than the US 105mm (25 pounds versus 33 pounds) to the same range and with a smaller and more easily handled gun.

	25 Pounder
		In the case of the 25-pr it is the high explosive (HE) shell.
		Royal Artillery experts concluded that a gun of around 3.7 inches (94 mm) in calibre with a range of at least 15 000 yards (13 716 m) firing a shell of from 20 to 25 lbs (9 to 11 kg) weight was needed to replace both the 18-pr and 4.5 howitzer.
		Experiments with an 18-pr, a 22-pr, and a 25-pr were carried out in 1933, and in the same year the General Staff agreed a 25-pr be the sole field artillery equipment.

		SAN DIEGO – Mac Weakley of Carlsbad caught what could be the world-record largemouth bass early Monday at Dixon Lake in Escondido.
		The bass weighed 25 pounds, 1 ounce on a hand-held scale, which – if approved – would shatter the world record, the 22-pound, 4-ounce bass caught by George W. Perry at Montgomery Lake in Georgia in 1932.
		The catch will have to be approved by the International Game Fish Association.
