The 122mm Gun A-19 was a Soviet field gun that was developed in the late 1930s by combining the barrel of the earlier 122mm Gun M1931 and the carriage of the 152mm Howitzer-Gun M1937. The gun had a split trail carriage that allowed for a wide traverse angle and a hydro-pneumatic recoil system that reduced the shock of firing. The gun had a maximum range of 20.4 km and could fire 3-4 rounds per minute. The gun was used in World War II by the Red Army as a corps artillery piece and also mounted on some tanks and self-propelled guns. The gun was produced from 1939 to 1946 and remained in service for many years after the war.
