Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain artillery in historical and classificatory terms with attribution, identify historical pieces for museum, heritage and research purposes, describe arms control and heritage aspects, and decline operational or technical detail.

Large-calibre projectile weapons such as cannon, howitzers, mortars and naval guns, historically muzzle-loaded and later breech-loaded, exemplified by naval and coastal guns of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries such as the German 28 cm, 38 cm and 15 cm naval guns, the French 164 mm model of 1893 and Russian patterns; artillery is treated here as a subject of military history, museum collections and arms control, with attribution and without technical, operational or tactical detail.

What it is for: Large-calibre projectile weapons.

It can be explain historical classification; identify historical pieces; describe arms control and heritage; decline operational detail.
