Zamburak

Early modern period camel mounted cannons

Zamburak, literally meaning wasp, was a specialized form of self-propelled artillery from the early modern period, featuring small swivel guns mounted on and fired from camels. Its operator was known as a zamburakchi. It was used by the gunpowder empires, especially the Iranian empires of the Safavid dynasty, Timurid Empire, and Afsharid dynasty, due to the ruggedness of the Iranian Plateau, which made typical transportation of heavy cannons difficult.
