The 155 mm gun M1 was a 155 millimeter caliber field gun developed and used by the United States military. Nicknamed "Long Tom", it was produced in M1 and M2 variants, later known as the M59. Developed to replace the Canon de 155mm GPF, the gun was deployed as a heavy field weapon during WWII and the Korean War, and also classed as secondary armament for seacoast defense. The gun could fire a 100 lb (45 kg) shell to a maximum range of 14 mi (23 km), with an estimated accuracy life of 1,500 rounds. The Long Tom was also adopted by a number of other nations, including the United Kingdom, Austria, Israel, and the Netherlands.


Note: If the miniature will be used for tabletop wargaming, it is strongly advised to add a base. Hard fighting and impact of shells can reduce the lifetime of the miniature due to some delicate parts on the undercarrage. With that in mind, we also include magnets in the box so the miniature can be transported in two pieces. Perfect for the wargamers bag storage.
