Spotting rifle information


US Marines with a 106 mm M40 recoilless rifle, during the Battle of Huế

A spotting rifle or ranging gun is a small-calibre rifle used as a sighting device for artillery. The ballistics of the spotting rifle are matched to those of the artillery piece,[1] so that if a shot from the spotting rifle lands on the target, it may be assumed that the main weapon will also do so.
