Artillery has been a primary weapon in war for centuries, even before the Napoleonic Era. Countries around the world have developed many artillery systems, and these weapons have continually improved to meet battlefield needs. This has produced many different types and designs that play a major role in warfare and remain important in modern combat. The lists typically cover guns, howitzers, mortars, and other large projectile weapons. Small arms and missiles are not usually included, though rockets and other bombardment weapons may be.
