What is the weight of the M119A3 without BII?

The weight of the M119A3 without basic issue items (BII) is 4,690 lbs. This weight reflects the structure and components of the howitzer itself without any additional equipment or ammunition that would typically be included in operational configurations. Understanding the weight is crucial for transport, maneuverability, and overall operational logistics of the artillery system. The M119A3 is specifically designed to be lightweight to enhance its mobility while still being effective as a towed artillery piece, making this weight value important for crews to know during training and deployment scenarios.
