The 10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 8 was a mountain howitzer used by Austria-Hungary during World War I.
[1] It was the first Austrian howitzer to use a modern hydraulic variable-recoil system.
It used the same ammunition as the earlier 10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 99, which was shown to be accurate, but lacked sufficient power to destroy bunkers, during World War I.
This sled was transported on a special bedding cart with removable wheels.
The 10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 10 was virtually identical except that it had its traversing and elevating handwheels on different sides and it was not given a high-angle mount.
