105-mm howitzer used by members of 31 (B) Battery at Waiouru, 1978.
The ordnance is running out after recoiling. Detachment members are reeling from the blast.
The gun Number Three (second from left) has pulled a lanyard to fire the piece.
The box for the dial sight can be seen beside the left wheel.
The red-and-white striped pole at right is an aiming post.
