Remarks :

Quick firing B.a.K. gun with hydro-pneumatic recoil mechanism. It was fitted for independent line of sight. It looked like a shielded field gun, but the wheels of the carriage could be adjusted in such a way as to permit the gun to revolve around the spade as a pivot. These guns fired the ordinary Turkish shrapnel with firing tables arranged specifically for them.
