Heavy-calibre weapons is a conservative aggregate entry for the mortars and heavy-calibre artillery publicly cited in the 2025 India-Pakistan Conflict. Indian Ministry of Defence reporting and Associated Press coverage describe Pakistani Line of Control shelling with mortars, artillery, and gunfire, but the public sources do not identify exact Pakistani gun or mortar models, so this record documents the sourced category rather than a specific weapon system.
Indian Ministry of Defence reporting said Pakistan increased Line of Control firing with mortars and heavy-calibre artillery in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar, and Rajouri on May 8, 2025; Associated Press reporting also described Pakistani artillery, mortar, and gunfire at multiple Indian-controlled Kashmir locations, but neither source identified exact gun or mortar models.
Public conflict-use evidence identifies a weapon category, not a named Pakistani howitzer or mortar. The sourced claim therefore stays at category level while the relationship links show representative ammunition families used by heavy artillery and mortar systems.
PIB attributes May 8, 2025 Line of Control firing to Pakistani mortars and heavy-calibre artillery in named Jammu and Kashmir sectors, and AP reports Pakistani artillery, mortar, and gunfire at multiple Indian-controlled Kashmir locations.
The sources do not identify a specific Pakistani gun, howitzer, or mortar model, so exact-system claims remain excluded.
The linked ammunition records show representative 155 mm, 122 mm, and 120 mm families that define common heavy artillery and mortar classes without implying those exact rounds were documented in this conflict.
Representative systems in this aggregate category use artillery and mortar ammunition classes rather than one standardized round family.

 | 155 mm artillery ammunition family | BAE says its 155 mm ammunition is designed for use with a range of 155 mm guns, and Army reporting describes the 155 mm round as the backbone of U.S. and allied field artillery and as used in systems such as the M777 howitzer and M109 Paladin.
