Historical Significance:
The 1.457-inch sub-caliber gun was developed to provide accurate training and practice for artillery crews, allowing them to refine their skills using smaller, less expensive ammunition. This sub-caliber system was a critical component in artillery training during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, ensuring that gunners could achieve precision and efficiency in their firing techniques.
