The 8 cm Feldkanone M. 99 was a field gun used by Austria-Hungary in World War I. It was designed in a rush because Austria's neighbors had already begun the process of modernizing their artillery. The designers whatever improvements they could be made without delaying development. For example, various hydraulic recoil systems were evaluated, but ultimately rejected as they required more development time than was available. So the M. 99 retained the so-called steel bronze (see Franz von Uchatius) barrel of its predecessor, but used an eccentric interrupted-screw breech to speed up its rate of fire, and adopted the carriage of the 9 cm Feldkanone M 75/96 with some minor changes, including improvements to the spade brake to reduce recoil forces.

- Il 8 cm Feldkanone M. 99 era un cannone campale austro-ungarico impiegato dall'Esercito imperial regio durante la prima guerra mondiale. Il cannone fu progettato in fretta a causa dei rapidi progressi dei paesi vicini dell'Austria nella modernizzazione delle loro artiglierie. I progettisti apportarono solo le innovazioni che non avrebbero ritardato lo sviluppo dell'arma. Per esempio furono valutati vari freni di sparo idraulici ma alla fine vennero tutti rigettati in quanto richiedevano ulteriore tempi di messa a punto. Il M. 99 conservava anche la canna in bronzo dei suoi predecessori, ma con otturatore eccentrico a vite interrotta, che ne aumentava la cadenza di tiro. L'affusto era quello del 9 cm Feldkanone M. 75/96 con lievi modifiche ai vomeri per ridurre le forze di rinculo. (it)
