For Serbian guns, the length in calibres is indicated only for La Hitte light models, for the others the barrel length is indicated.

The propelling charge and the explosive charge of all these guns consisted of black powder.

The Krupp guns were war booty taken from the Turks, except for the 9-pounders, which were Russian guns captured from the Bulgarians in 1885.
