'little wasp'), was a specialized form of self-propelled artillery from the early modern period featuring small swivel guns mounted on and fired from camels.
A large number of zamburaks were also successfully employed by Ahmad Shah Durrani during his raid in the North Indian plain in the Third Battle of Panipat against the Maratha Confederacy.
A Persian zamburak regiment was accompanied by musicians with huge camel-mounted drums, to further intimidate the enemy.
The name is derived from the Persian word for wasp zambur (زنبور), possibly in reference to the sound earlier camel-mounted crossbows made.
The camel's mobility combined with the swivel gun's flexibility and heavy firepower made an intimidating military unit, although the cannon's accuracy and range were rather low.
