The L118 light gun is a 105 mm towed howitzer. It was originally produced for the British Army in the 1970s and has been widely exported since including to the United States where a modified version is known as the M119 howitzer. The proper name for it is Gun 105mm Field L118 but it is almost always just called the light gun.
