| Notes | The K17 was a long range gun that served in the First World War. It had good range and accuracy but was very heavy. Because of the weight the gun had to be towed in two loads by traction by horse. Its main role was counter battery fire, but many were brought out of retirement and served as coastal artillery during World War Two. |
