		A howitzer is a type of artillery piece that is characterized by a relatively short barrel and the use of comparatively small propelling charges to propel relatively large projectiles at trajectories with a relatively steep angle of descent.
		In contrast to the field howitzers of the eighteenth century, the field howitzers introduced at the end of the nineteenth century were valued for their ability to fire shells with high trajectories giving a steep angle of descent and, as a result, could strike targets that were protected by intervening obstacles.
		Howitzers of this era were also valued for their ability to fire shells that were about twice as large as shells fired by guns of the same size.

	Howitzer - Databank
		Howitzers are distinguished from other types of cannon artillery by their trajectory in that they tend to fire at high angles and deliver plunging fire.
		In addition to this, the barrel of a howitzer is commonly below 30 calibers (the length of the barrel is less than 30 times as long as the diameter of the bore), whereas other cannon and field guns tend to fire at no more than 45° and have a caliber of 30 or over.
		Howitzers are still either towed, or now self-propelled where they mix the maneuverability and to some extent the protection of tanks with their heavy firepower.
