7.7 cm FK 96 n.A. Artillery

The German 7.7cm FK 96 n.A. was an improved field gun that incorporated modern recoil control into an existing caliber and military tradition. It became a major German field-artillery weapon in the First World War. Its carriage and recoil system allowed a more efficient firing routine than older guns requiring extensive repositioning after each shot. The “n.A.” designation distinguishes the newer-pattern gun from the original FK 96. Field artillery had to serve both mobile operations and the sustained demands of trench warfare. German batteries adapted employment as the conflict developed, while older guns remained in use alongside newer wartime artillery systems.
