1914 question

[Dog Soldier]

I am not sure how this works in F11, but I would assume the smaller caliber (higher ROF) field guns had some type of close range canister rounds still in 1914 since many had been designed in the 19th century.

Those rounds made them big shot guns, as we know, thus increasing the losses to the assaulting force?

The longer ranged / bigger guns did not have this capability as they could not be depressed enough to fire at approaching enemy infantry. IIRC, It was not a matter of the gun barrel itself being set horizontal. Just the carriage or set up was not designed for the recoil like that. The gun would just flip over!
