#1 Actually, the Islamists have 122mm and 152mm artillery, both leftover from the Barre regime, and what has been smuggled in by supporters from Muslim states in North Africa. But generally, when speaking of "heavy artillery" used in regards to technicals, one is speaking of 23mm and 37mm anti-aircraft guns mounted for ground fire.

#3 ...What the Ethiopians need are some 7.62mm miniguns mounted on slightly up-armored APCs. The way Islamists fight, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.
