Hmm... a 15 kilo projectile translates to 40 rpm. What were the projectile weights of the cannon with high RoF? |

It would be enough to say the gun was made to have RoF of French 75, although with heavier shell. |

A lot of options for 105mm weapons tho I recall a 120mm cannon. Possible but not likely it was a 155mm with 40+ kilo projectiles.

Well, French 75 had RoF around 15 RPM, and 600+/15 gives more than 40kg, so it is very likely that mistery gun was 155mm. |
