speed=The Skoda 100 mm Model 16/19 (100 mm M.16/19) was a mountain howitzer modified bySkoda Works from the design of theM.16, and its most notable difference was the longer barrel. It is unclear if they were newly-built, or rebuilt from older howitzers. The Czech Army used this gun in both its 100 mm and 105 mm variants. After1938 , the guns were used by theWehrmacht as 10 cm GebH 16/19(t) and 10.5 cm GebH(t). In addition, some of these guns were also used byItaly andTurkey , although this needs confirmation. The gun broke down into 3 loads for transport. The gun crew is protected by an armouredshield .References
