The '''Škoda 100&nbsp;mm Model 16/19''' (officially '''10 cm horská houfnice vz. 16/19''') was a mountain [[howitzer]] modified by [[Škoda Works]] from the design of the [[Škoda 100 mm Model 1916|M.16]], and its most notable difference was the longer barrel. It is unclear if they were newly built, or rebuilt from older howitzers. The [[Czechoslovak Army]] used this gun in both its 100&nbsp;mm and 105&nbsp;mm variants. After 1938, the guns were used by the [[Wehrmacht]] as '''10&nbsp;cm GebH 16/19(t)''' and '''10.5&nbsp;cm GebH(t)'''. In addition, some of these guns were also used by Italy and Turkey, although this needs confirmation. The gun broke down into 3 loads for transport. The gun crew was protected by an [[vehicle armour|armour]]ed [[shield]].
