  2S1 M-1974 122-mm Self-Propelled Howitzer
While the chassis of the 2S1 somewhat resembles that of the PT-76, it is essentially a new design, derived from the MT-LB chassis.
The 2S1 is found in the howitzer battalion of BMP-equipped motorized rifle regiments and some tank regiments.
Its introduction coincided with the expansion of the Soviet motorized rifle regiment's artillery battery to a battalion and with the introduction of the ACRV M1974, which is associated with self-propelled artillery units.

 122-mm Self-propelled Howitzer 2S1 "Gvozdika"
The all-welded steel hull of the 2S1 is divided into three compartments: driver's at the front on the left, engine to the right of the driver and the turret at the rear.
An unusual feature of the 2S1 is that the suspension can be adjusted to give different heights, which is of particular use when the vehicle is being transported by tactical transport aircraft.
One of the two ammunition members outside the vehicle is connected to the vehicle intercom and would fuse the projectiles before they are passed into the vehicle.

The 152 mm viscous Lewisite projectile weighs 42.5 kg of which 5.4 kg comprises the CW agent which is dispersed by the explosion of the TNT bursting charge.
The ammunition system used by the 152 mm 2A36 is of a new design and is not inter-operable with that of earlier former Soviet artillery systems, such as the 152 mm 2S3, and may well be of a new streamlined design.
The 240 mm M-240 mortar consists of a barrel with breech and breech-block frame, a frame with shock absorbers, the mount with training and equilibrating mechanisms, a two-wheel traveling carriage with the suspension, a boom for changing from the firing to the traveling configuration, a baseplate and a towing bar with a lunette.

105 mm Fd is the UK term for the ammo fired by Abbot and L118.
This used the shell from 105 mm How (L33 HE)and a reduced cartridges (L32 normal and L34 super) of 105 mm Fd type (105 mm Fd uses an electrically fired primer in the cart whereas 105 mm How is pecussion (never mind different chamber sizes)).
More recently (earlier this year), a new HE shell was accepted for service (L50), this is about the same weight as L31 but about 38 cm longer (IIRC) and uses an insensitive HE filling, which is less mass hence allows a longer shell to carry more HE.
