Modern Day Use
The U.S. 57 mm M1 gun is popular with modern-day cannoneers, as there is a relatively good supply of shell casings and projectiles.
The gun is also reportedly still in active military use with some South American countries and, in coastal defense emplacements, outlying island garrisons of the Republic of China Army.
