GIAT LG1 The LG1 is a modern 105 mm / 30 - calibre towed howitzer designed and produced by GIAT Industries ( now Nexter group ) of France . Design . The LG1 howitzer is a 105 mm towed artillery piece that features both low weight and a high level of accuracy over long distances . Its lightweight construction gives the barrel a relatively short lifespan . The equivalent full charge ( EFC ) count is suggested to be approximately 7 , 500 ; however , during fire and practice , has yielded only around 1 , 500 EFCs . The gun was specifically designed for use by rapid deployment forces with attributes such as ruggedness , ease of operation and reduced weight . It can fire all NATO standard 105 mm ammunition up to a range of using HE - ER G2 and US M913 rounds . Deployment .
