12 cm kan m/1980 "KARIN"
A derivative of the Haubits FH77, the 12/80 "KARIN" is a highly mobile coastal gun used to defend the shores of the Nordic Union. While barrel's diameter is identical to the original howitzer's 155mm gun, it has instead been bored to 120mm. This allows for a higher rate of fire, better shell velocity. Furthermore, their computerized fire control system allows them to use the sensor data provided by both fixed and mobile radar.
Able to deliver 16 rounds per minute to targets up to 32 kilometers away, batteries of these coastal guns can wreck any ship or landing craft that attempts to threaten the Nordic Union's shores.
An additional highly useful feature is that the KARIN is capable of operating in a self-propelled capability to a limited extent, although it lacks both the speed and range of a true self-propelled weapon.
Note: While the illustration here may look dramatic, in reality the gun would be provided with a camouflage net and would never be positioned in such an open area.
