The Canon de 75 modèle 1897, also known as the French 75, is a fast-firing French field gun designed before the Great War. It was the first piece of artillery to feature a hydropneumatic recoil absorption system, allowing it to fire ten times faster than its contemporaries. The first contact Oceanykans had with it was through ANZAC divisions fighting for the Entente; the French supplied the nascent Federal Army with their modern artillery. Many were brought back or bought in the interwar years, this being the cause for its contemporary ubiquity.
