Zamburak

A zamburak, (in Persian: زمبورک), was a specialized form of mobile artillery from the early modern era. The operator of a zamburak is known as a zamburakchi. The weapon was used by the Gunpowder Empires, especially the Persian empires of the Safavids and Afsharids, due to the ruggedness of the Iranian plateau, which made transportation of heavy cannon problematic.
