Originally applied to any group of infantry primarily armed with projectile weapons, artillery has over time become limited in meaning to refer only to those engines of war that operate by projection of munitions far beyond the range of effect of personal weapons. These engines comprise specialised devices which use some form of stored energy to operate, whether mechanical, chemical, or electromagnetic. Originally designed to breach fortifications, they have evolved from nearly static installations intended to reduce a single obstacle to highly mobile weapons of great flexibility in which now reposes the greater portion of a modern army's offensive capabilities.

It is an analysis tank, it is used to measure the pressure from the shell's propellant.

I read it was actually a silencer.

The story goes that the noise from the training groud was disturbing nearby residents, so instead of moving the training area or the people, they made a solution.

sounds like a old wives tale.

It has camouflage, therefore it's invisible.
