Artillery Pieces Explained: From Cannons to Rocket Systems
from talking about history Hosted by Beckam Davis
Welcome in. Today we’re doing something surprisingly fun and very loud, at least in theory: we’re talking about artillery pieces. Not just “big guns go boom,” but what artillery really is, the different kinds of artillery pieces, how they’re used, and why they still matter in modern warfare. If you’ve ever wondered about terms like howitzer, mortar, or multiple rocket launcher, this episode breaks down the differences, how targeting and fire direction work, the variety of ammunition, and how modern tech—drones, guided rounds, and fast-moving platforms—changes the game. Artillery isn’t just hardware; it’s a whole system of observation, calculation, logistics, and tactics that controls space and time on the battlefield.
