A minor scandal emerged from a spate of failed breeches of Krupp built 77mm field guns. Von Roon never forgave Gustav. The Chasspot trumped the Needle gun, but, as you point out, French grasp of the changing discipline of tactics lagged behind. From this disaster, France emerged with some world beating ideas. Among these was a legacy superweapon, the "Soixante Cans" Mle '97 (the "French Seventy-Five"), perhaps the most revolutionary* light field artillery piece ever mass produced. *And lasting. We used a slightly modified version of it as our Grant and Sherman tanks' main gun, the "75mm Gun M2 and M3".
