The U.S. Army adopted this British gun 1899 when the first twelve were purchased for use in the Philippine Insurrection.

The gun weighed 236 lbs. and could be broken down and carried on the backs of four pack animals. It had a maximum range of 4,825 yards and a rate of fire of a maximum of fourteen rounds per minute. This British-made pack saddle carried the gun barrel.
