Anti-Aircraft Guns - A weapon designed for anti-aircraft defense. Mostly it is a weapon above 7-8mm, although there are exceptions. A good example here is Maxim caliber 7.62, which in a special tripod would act as an anti-aircraft weapon. Another example of the classification is 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 and 85 mm Air Defense Gun M1939 (52-K), the weapon was designed for anti-aircraft defense (the name suggests so). Even though the weapon was used for anti-tank combat, it is still an anti-aircraft weapon.
Anti-Tank Guns / Artilleries - A weapon designed to fight against armored vehicles. Thanks to its design, it allows shooting at long distances. Caliber mainly above 20mm. An example of a classification is the 8.8 cm Pak 43 gun, which is designed for anti-tank combat. It is worth remembering about the anti-aircraft weapon 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 which is adapted to anti-tank combat, but it is not an anti-tank weapon by design.
Autocannons / Rotary Autocannons - Automatic weapons with a caliber above a large-caliber cartridge (13-14 mm) designed to be mounted on various platforms. In most cases, these are planes, helicopters or armored vehicles. Sometimes weapons of this type can be used for anti-aircraft / anti-tank defense by using special platforms. A good example of such a weapon is the M242 Bushmaster chaingun which was mounted on the M2 Bradley and by using a special platform it served as an anti-aircraft weapon as the Mk 38 Mod 2. There are also autocannons that are designed for anti-aircraft defense. For example, Breda Modello 35 cannon is an autocannon. But in its basic form, it plays the role of an anti-aircraft weapon.
Naval Guns - Cannons mounted on ships. Sometimes mounted on the ground, they served as coastal defense weapons. The uses of this weapon are diverse. They were used both against ships and aircraft. An example of a naval weapon is the 5-Inch/38 Caliber Naval Gun. It is also worth remembering that many cannons / automatic cannons have been adapted to the needs of the Navy. An example of such a weapon is 37 mm M1939 (61-K), it is an anti-aircraft weapon which, thanks to the use of a special platform, served in the navy as 37 mm 70-K in a single version and 37mm V-11 double-coupled version.
Howitzers - The weapon is designed for shooting at long distances along a flat flight trajectory. By convention, a large-caliber weapon. Most often above 75mm, but sometimes there are exceptions. Compared to artillery, howitzers have shorter barrels. An example of a howitzer is 122 mm howitzer M1938 (M-30) where the name itself indicates the type of weapon. Sometimes howitzers are also mounted on special platforms. An example of such a weapon is M102 Howitzer, which in the basic version is a towed howitzer, and through modifications it was mounted in AC-130 gunship aircraft
Tank Cannons - Cannons mounted on tanks and armored vehicles. In some cases, they are stationary mounted on special platforms. An example is the tank gun 5 cm KwK 39 L/60 mounted primarily on PzKpfw III tanks and on the Sd.Kfz.234 armored car. There are also cannons that have been specially adapted for use in tanks. An example is the 2 cm FlaK 30 autocannon, which was designed as an anti-aircraft weapon and after modification was placed in armored vehicles as 2 cm KwK 30.
