MO-120 RT, 120 mm rifled towed heavy mortar, Artillery2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2012 Mali War +3 moreMO-120 RT120 mm rifled towed heavy mortarBuilt by: Brandt / TDA Armements / Thales / General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems / MKE, Sarsilmaz, KalekalipThe MO-120 RT is a French 120 mm rifled towed heavy mortar developed by Brandt and later associated with TDA/Thales production. Its rifled barrel, two-wheel carriage, and rocket-assisted ammunition option give it longer range than many smoothbore infantry mortars, while keeping the system towable by light or medium vehicles. The family also appears through derivatives such as the U.S. Marine Corps M327 EFSS and Turkey's HY-12, giving the page conflict evidence from Ukraine, Mali, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Colombia.
Panter 155 mm howitzer, 155 mm/52-caliber towed howitzer with auxiliary self-propulsion, Artillery1984 Kurdish-Turkish ConflictPanter 155 mm howitzer155 mm/52-caliber towed howitzer with auxiliary self-propulsionBuilt by: MKEThe Panter is a Turkish 155 mm/52-caliber howitzer family developed by MKE for long-range NATO-standard artillery fire. The original towed system combines a split-trail carriage, assisted loading, and an auxiliary power unit for local movement, while the T-155 TTA / 8x8 program remounts the modernized Panter weapon system on a BMC wheeled tactical vehicle with ASELSAN fire control. Its public conflict record is narrow and disputed: open reporting ties the type to the July 2022 Zakho shelling attribution, while Turkey denied responsibility.

U.S. Army Reserve Cold Steel materials show the M2 trained on mounted military platforms including the HMMWV, while Army, Marine, and manufacturer sources place the family on tripods, vehicles, boats, aircraft, and remote weapon stations.
12-gauge shotgun, Shotgun, Infantry Weapons2022 Haitian Gang Conflict, 2012 Central African Republic Civil War +3 more12-gauge shotgunShotgunBuilt by: O.F. Mossberg & Sons / Remington / Winchester / Beretta / Mossberg, Remington, Akkar, and other manufacturersThe 12-gauge shotgun is a broad family of shoulder-fired smoothbore firearms chambered for fixed shotgun shells. Modern 12-gauge guns span pump-action, break-action, and semi-automatic layouts, while documented conflict roles range from Ukrainian short-range counter-drone defense and Central African militia small arms to Islamic State recoveries; Haiti coverage is narrower because the cited reporting identifies gang-held pump-action shotguns without confirming gauge.
