artillery pieces
Large mounted guns
Artillery pieces are large-caliber military weapons—cannons, howitzers, mortars, and similar guns too heavy to carry by hand.
The term emphasizes the physical equipment rather than the unit or branch: The museum displays artillery pieces from the Civil War.
Piece here means an individual weapon, as in a fine piece of ordnance.
