Difference between Artillery and Paris Gun

Artillery vs. Paris Gun

Artillery is a class of large military weapons built to fire munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry's small arms. The Paris Gun (Paris-Geschütz / Pariser Kanone) was the name given to a type of German long-range siege gun, several of which were used to bombard Paris during World War I. They were in service from March to August 1918.
