True, but I'm talking about artillery over a certain size like the old Swedish artillery 15 cm or the American 155 mm kanon "Long Tom"

Read somewhere that you only had time to fire x-amount of shells then you had to quickly pack it together and escape.

Of course it all depend on what kind of enemies your forces are facing. I don't know if Iraq had the equipment to "kill" artillery.
