Anti-Aircraft Guns

Anti-aircraft guns are rapid-firing guns, towed or on a vehicle chassis, designed to shoot down aircraft and low-flying threats. A weapon belongs here when the infobox of its cited article names it an anti-aircraft gun, whether towed or self-propelled. It excludes guided surface-to-air missiles and ground artillery pieces. Weapons in this group are placed by what their own cited article states, so a visitor browsing anti-aircraft guns sees only systems whose sources name that role, and can compare them across eras, makers and the forces that used them.
