Explanation
The answer to the Small cannon with a short range is MORTAR.
The clue "Small cannon with a short range" leads to the answer "MORTAR." A "mortar" refers to a small cannon designed for short-range firing, typically used in warfare for launching explosive shells at high angles. Unlike larger artillery pieces that have longer ranges, mortars are characterized by their compact size and ability to deliver projectiles over shorter distances with a steep trajectory.
This makes them particularly effective for targeting enemy positions behind cover or fortifications. Mortars can be man-portable or mounted on vehicles, and they come in various calibers and configurations. Their utility lies in their ability to provide indirect fire support, allowing forces to strike targets that are not directly visible. The design of a mortar focuses on accuracy and impact within a limited range, making it a versatile tool in both historical and modern combat scenarios.
