This gun system is produced by the modification of the standart M44 Howitzer. The major change
involves, a new 39 cal. long barrel with large chamber, faster twist rifling and autofrettaged to
provide maximum fatigue life. Therefore modifying the M44 with a new cannon assembly using a 39
cal. tube will increase its range capability and interoperability with modern ammunition.
