What is Artillery?
Artillery is a term which is used to refer both to heavy weapons designed to launch projectiles across fairly long distances, and to the crews who run such weapons. People also use the term “artillery” more generally to refer to the study of guns, known as gunnery. Artillery of some form or another has been used in warfare for centuries, and often artillery is at the cutting edge of military technology; in the 20th century especially, artillery became especially important.
