Gun
A relatively long-barreled artillery piece, firing it's projectile at higher velocities and flatter trajectories than the howitzer or the mortar. This term is also sometimes used to refer to heavy ordnance in general. The gun's velocity and trajectory made it suitable for use as a "battering piece" against fortifications, or for long range firing.
