extracted text (Extract Text): SAWED-OFF version of our |
deadly 105-mm. field-artil-
lery howitzer is the new |
M-3 howitzer pictured at |
the left. Comparison with |
the larger weapon (P.S.M.,
Nov. '42, p. 54) shows it
to have a shortened barrel, |
compact recoil mechanism, |
and low-slung carriage.
These combine to give it the
mobility and low silhouette |
that would make it easy to
man-handle in the field.
