Talk:L118 light gun

message: I remember these being used by the British Army near Sarajevo during the Bosnian crisis to provide counter-battery to the arty fire that was being fired on that city. Does anyone know of a link or source? I'd like to add a sentence or two--Mongreilf 16:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Some useful points there. If you think they ought to be incorporated in the article, do so. Be bold ! Some RA officers I spoke to in the late 1970s did say there was a potential CB issue in future flashpoints, against adversaries equipped with Soviet D74 or other 122mm artillery.

message: "... after the introduction of Field Artillery Computer Equipment (FACE) it never, unlike Abbot, had gun rules." This sentence appears in the 'Design' section, para five. 
While the FACE is a red link, it is at least fairly self-explanatory. The same cannot be said about "gun rules". Even if the link was blue, it could still do with a brief summary after it, i.e. "...had gun rules" (rules for guns). [or something similar]
At the moment, I and I imagine many other readers, are in the dark.
Anyone willing to sort this one out?

thread_title:  Gun rules 

message: What does the following line mean?  By the time L118 entered service, sub-zones A and B originally used with Abbot had been replaced by a spoiler to reduce the minimum range at high angle fire when this was required.  What are sub-zones A and B? What is this spoiler?  It it fitted to the shell?  The rest of the section about ammunition seems clear enough though.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.225.192 (talk) 17:40, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

message: How is this artillery piece classified as a howitzer? I am no artilleryman, but as far as I can tell this fits the bill as a field gun perfectly. Additionally, all of the references (and those I have access to) refer to it as a gun. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 23:30, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a somewhat belated replacement for the 25 pdr so I suspect it would be more properly termed a 'gun/howitzer', i.e., a dual-purpose weapon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.241.31 (talk) 10:42, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Howitzer 

message: The menu on the right claims a barrel length of "37 calibers."  Since 1 caliber is one inch, what's the rest of the 155 inches which make up it's 16 foot length?  I'm thinking someone just threw that in there without a correct or reputable reference.  Caliber is used to denote the inside diameter of handgun and rifle barrels, or more specifically, the design diameter of the round.  Field guns, mortar tubes and similar artillery pieces, however, are described in either millimeters (mm) or inches (in) such as the 155 mm Howitzer and the 5 inch naval gun.  As I've never operated an L118, however, I'll defer editing to someone who has been properly trained on this weapon system. Clepsydrae (talk) 12:21, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
