“What I want to know is if “cannon” is a proper term for a howitzer? I thought they were called “guns”.”

Cannon is correct but out of date. More proper would be artillery (or gun) or more exact howitzer.

I guess the best answer would be if you own your own 105 howitzer, you can call it and the ammo any dang thing you want.

you own your own
