42 line gun M1877 () was a siege gun used by the Russian Imperial Army in late 19th and early 20th centuries. The word "line" in the designation refers to a measurement unit which equals 0.1 inch. Curiously, the "model year" was not the year when the weapon was designed or standardized, but the year when a new rifling system was adopted. It should not be confused with the 42 Line battery gun Model of 1877, a field gun version which had a shorter barrel and lower muzzle velocity.
