	The Civil War Artillery Page
		Only about six percent of the soldiers in the American Civil War were enrolled in the artillery branch of the service, yet the artillery played a pivotal role in almost every major engagement of the War.
		From the massed Union batteries at Stones River and Malvern Hill to the intrepid field work of Pelham's horse artillery at Fredericksburg, the big guns were always a factor, and often the decisive one.
		Much of the focus is on the field artillery, which saw the most battle action during the War, but the growing Encyclopedia of Civil War Artillery provides examples of every type.

	Napoleonic Artillery
		Even during the Revolution, the artillery arm continued to make its presence felt, and the fighting at Valmy and St.Roch were only two incidents which highlighted the continuing influence of the many trained artillerists and engineers in the face of terror and upheaval.
		The presence of officers leading and coordinating massed artillery formations was one of several important factors in the superior performance of the French artillery arm at this time.
		Artillery stationed on high ground was, if time allowed, placed behind makeshift redoubts and issued plenty of shotgun-like case rounds to use against enemy units as they toiled upslope.

	Artillery, Artillerymen, and Artillery Legends
		In 1901, the Artillery was divided into Coast and Field Artillery and the branch insignia was modified by the addition of a plain scarlet oval at the intersection of the cannons.
		Artillery assigned to infantry support was called mounted artillery, a misnomer since all the cannoneers marched on foot.
		During the Civil War, artillery had to adjust to a new role as long-distance support for the infantry or cavalry, a task that was facilitated in part by the application of rifling to cannons.

	Artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artillery could no longer be deployed in the battle line, the large crews and stocks of ammunition were vulnerable to rifle fire, but had to either become smaller, lighter, more mobile and stay with the troops or get much further away.
		Modern artillery is distinguished by its large caliber, firing an explosive shell or rocket, and being of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.

	Artillery - LoveToKnow 1911
		Mobile artillery is subdivided, again chiefly in respect of its employment, into horse and field batteries, heavy field or position artillery, field howitzers, mountain artillery and siege trains, adapted to every kind of terrain in which field troops may be employed, and work they may have to do.
		Immobile artillery is used in fixed positions of all kinds, and above all in permanent fortifications; it cannot, therefore, be classified as above, inasmuch as the raison d'être, and consequently the armament of one fort or battery may be totally distinct from that of another.
		The merits and the faults of the artillery had been made clear, and nowhere was the lesson taken to heart more than in France, where General Gribeauval, a French officer who had served in the war with the Austrian artillery, initiated reforms which in the end led to the artillery triumphs of the Napoleonic era.

	Nuclear artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nuclear artillery shell is a limited-yield nuclear weapon delivered by cannon artillery.
		Shortly after the development of the first atomic bombs the USA and the USSR began investigations into devices with limited yield that could be used in sub-strategic situations, even tactically.
		Only one type of artillery round other than the W-48 was produced in large numbers, the W-33 for use in a 203 mm shell.

		His book, "A Treatise of Artillery," had been published in 1756 and was the standard text of the day, and a pirate copy was published in Philadelphia in 1779, which became the handbook of the American artillerymen.
		During the Revolution both the British and American artillery relied upon contract teamsters for movement, but for the British, with a limited amount of horseflesh available, and with contractors reluctant to ally themselves with the Redcoats, much of the transportation capacity had to be shipped across the Atlantic.

	Vietnam Studies - Field Artillery 1954 - 1973
		The requirement that artillery units obtain both political and military clearance was but one of many rules that the artillery was required to observe in engaging the enemy.
		Artillery units were concerned not only with the safety of friendly forces and noncombatants on the ground but also with that of aircraft.
		The liaison section was notified by artillery units in the area before firing and given the direction of the fire, the maximum ordinate of the trajectory, and the point of impact of the projectile.

	General information of artillery weapons and shells
		All artillery shells don't have cartridge cases, instead the projectile and the propellant charge are loaded "separately", inserting first the projectile and then the propellant charge.
		The artillery projectile (/ shell / round), that lands in the target, has many different ways to cause damage to the enemy in the target area.
		The graph is based on the assumption that the point of impact is centered in the target area, and the area is covered with an optimum pattern.

	Real-life Artillery
		The modern artillery piece is an incredibly lethal and (in the public eye) totally unappreciated piece of machinery.
		Unlike aircraft, artillery is unaffected by cloud cover or similar visibility conditions; as long as the spotter can relay the target location, the act of aiming is performed through mathematical computation rather than visual target acquisition.
		Artillery has an effective 100% duty cycle in the local combat area, unlike aircraft which cover large areas and must periodically return to base for refueling, maintenance, etc. Artillery is also much harder to detect than aircraft.
