Very cool!

What kind of gun is in the 6th pic?

 

[Soldier]

I believe it is another angle of the 105mm like the first pic

It is a 155mm gun. Either 1917 or 1918 model judging by the wheels. Also known as the GPF.

It is a 155mm. I miscounted, I thought vikingberserker was talking about the one below it.
