Originally designed to deliver shrapnel rounds against large infantry formations, the battle conditions of World War I saw the adaptation of high explosive and chemical warheads. This system allowed crews to continue firing without having to correct the aim. A well-trained 75mm crew could fire at the rate of thirty rounds per minute. Adopted by the French Army in 1897, it was the first gun to be equipped with a hydro-pneumatic recoil system. The French 75mm Field Gun ('Matériel de 75mm Mle 1897') is considered to be the first modern artillery piece.
