Zamburak
Zamburak (Persian: زنبورک, zanburak, 'culverin', lit. 'little 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 Safavid Iran, the Timurid Empire, and Afsharid Iran, due to the ruggedness of the Iranian plateau, which made typical transportation of heavy cannons difficult.
