The '''7.7 cm Feldkanone 96 n. A.''' (n. A. = neuer Art/new style) was a light field gun that was used by the imperial German army and the armed forces of Bulgaria, Romania and the Ottoman Empire in the First World War. This field gun based on the 7.7cm Feldkanone C/96 and has been extended to a hydropneumatic recoil brake, directional seats for gunners, a crank closure and a pantel for indirect directing. Existing C/96 were designated as 7,7 cm Feldkanonen 96 a. A. (a. A. = alter Art) and retrofitted over time to Feldkanonen 96 n. A..

The gun was lighter and therefore more mobile than the British Ordnance QF 18 Pounder, the French ''Canon de 75 mm modèle 1897'' or the Russian Putilov 7.62-cm M1902 field gun. However, once the front had become static, the greater rate of fire of the French gun and the heavier shells fired by the British gun put the Germans at a disadvantage. In 1916 the Fk 96 was further developed to the longer-ranged, but heavier 7.7 cm Feldkanone 16.

The 7.7 cm Feldkanone 96 n. A. (n. A. = neuer Art/new style) was a light field gun that was used by the imperial German army and the armed forces of Bulgaria, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire in the First World War. This field gun based on the 7.7cm Feldkanone C/96 and has been extended to a hydropneumatic recoil brake, directional seats for gunners, a crank closure and a pantel for indirect directing. Existing C/96s were designated as 7.7 cm Feldkanonen 96 a. A. (a. A. = alter Art) and retrofitted over time to Feldkanonen 96 n. A..

The gun was lighter and therefore more mobile than the British Ordnance QF 18 Pounder, the French Canon de 75 mm modèle 1897 or the Russian Putilov 7.62-cm M1902 field gun. However, once the front had become static, the greater rate of fire of the French gun and the heavier shells fired by the British gun put the Germans at a disadvantage. In 1916 the Fk 96 was further developed to the longer-ranged, but heavier 7.7 cm Feldkanone 16.
