In the true sense of a cannon (smooth bore) yes. If the field piece has a rifled bore then it is technically a rifle. Modern artillery is primarily composed of large bore rifles. Tanks are an exception to this, their main armament is commonly smooth bore, although more and more are starting to revert back to rifled bores.
