L118 light gun 105mm bean fired by 4 regiment RA in Wales


The versatile 105 mm Light Gun is used by the Parachute and Commando Field Artillery Regiments of the British Army. Royal Artillery L118 Light Guns are fitted with an Automatic Pointing System, which enables the gun to be unlimbered and in action in 30 seconds. APS is based on an inertial navigation system; operated via a touch screen, it replaces the traditional dial sight. New Light Gun ammunition is in development, with an increasingly lethal round and an extended range.
