That still is the most common occurrence. Or they are borrowed from a Nat Guard unit. Or they were working howitzer that is too much of a hassle to load up with a full blank shell, so again, it's probably cheaper and easier to re-set over and over again with a simple "poof" charge from the Pyrotechnics crew.
FYI: I know military reenactors who have 75mm Pack Howitzers and some German Units who have 88s. If they got them, you KNOW Armories can get them.
