This weapon remains the only 155mm in use by brazilian army and navy.201.9.74.138 (talk) 20:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)daltonagre[reply]

Ammunition

I changed the first sentence: The gun fired separate loading, bagged charge ammunition, with seven different propelling charges, from 1 (the smallest) to 7 (the largest). To: The gun fired separate loading, bagged charge ammunition, with up to seven different propelling charges, from 1 (the smallest) to 7 (the largest).

From my professional experience in the military, they can use just a one bag, a one and two, or all the way up to all seven bags. Changing this sentence helped to make that a bit more clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.214.25.105 (talk) 16:55, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Designation

What is the rationale behind using the postwar designation instead of the original, especially given that the weapon is most famous for its World War II use? Just curious.--172.190.68.35 (talk) 06:45, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
