Used significantly during Operation Iraqi Freedom in the early 2000s, the M109 Paladin features a 155 mm 39-caliber M284 cannon capable of reaching a range of 30km using assisted rounds. With a maximum firing rate of 8 rounds a minute or 3 rounds in just 15 seconds, the gun is operated using an automatic fire control system that operates independently without technical assistance, meaning the vehicle’s 4 person crew can lock, fire the cannon, and move to a new position without outside support.
