The modèle 1916 gun's 37mm caliber was the smallest allowed for explosive shells under the 1899 Hague Convention and hence was used by many nations for small guns.

The guns were fitted to a tripod, to which wheels could be attached for transport.
The guns could also be carried by four men, after being broken down into two, two-man loads - the 104-pound (47 kg) gun and recoil mechanism, and the 84-pound (38 kg) trails.
Some were equipped with a gun shield.

The breech-block of the gun was essentially a smaller version of that fitted to the well-known French 75 gun.

The guns could be crewed by two men, a loader and an aimer, and had a maximum rate of fire of around 35 rounds per minute.
They were equipped with a removable APX telescopic sight.
for direct fire, and a quadrant sight for indirect fire.

In US service, each gun was assigned an ammunition limber, which carried 14, sixteen-round boxes of ammunition as well as tools and accessories.
The gun and its limber were normally together towed by a single horse or mule, but were manhandled forward if contact with the enemy was expected.

U.S. high explosive ammunition for the TRP was the Mark II HE shell with a projectile weighing 0.67 kilograms (1.5 lb) and a TNT bursting charge of 27.2 grams.
The French Army used the Obus explosif Mle1916 HE round with a projectile weighing 0.555 kilograms (1.22 lb) and a bursting charge of 30 grams.
 Captured rounds of this type were designated Sprgr 147(f) by the German military in World War II.
