203mm 8-inch Projectiles
The 203mm 8-inch projectiles were fired by the M110 Self Propelled Howitzer, which was designed to be part of a common family of weapons utilising the same chassis components, with the M110 and the M107 Self Propelled 175-mm Gun being essentially the same vehicle mounting different barrels. These systems are no longer in service with the active Army, and are being withdrawn from National Guard service.
