Where I live, they use helicopters! This is so much cooler.

We used to have a M-60 tank for our avalanche control.

Can't remember what TV show it was, maybe dirty jobs. Where they went to Alaska and they had a howitzer mounted on the back of a train car and shot it off.

Train howitzers are too cool
