I'm no expert at firing a Tank, considering I'm 18 years old and not in the army, but why this discussion about this so called "finger-popping"?
When your in a conflict or war, a millisecond can decide your life, and assuming doing it "manually" is faster than attaching a thin rope everytime you need to fire, I consider it the best way.
(That means you don't hook up the lanyard, you just pop the firing mechanism with your finger. You better move your hand out of the way fast or the recoil will break your arm.)
can someone tell me what the bag or something was that they put in after the round and what was that little thing that was put in after he shut the door of it?
for all the ones talking trash. i am the one firing the rounds and for your information, i have finger popped red bags before as well. if you can see where the camera was placed at you would know that if we recorded a red bag the camera would've fallen off. Oh and another thing, i have fired 15 round missions before and then some. so all those talking trash, get a life. you all should know the quicker the rounds get down range, the better the guys out there are off.
I have finger pulled way a ton of rounds and it is the only way to go. I don't care if it is a green bad white bag hotel or lima. I shot all of them and finger pulled all of them. Lanyards are for pussies.
finger poppin huh...must be a pussy charge, well im at ft.hood first cav, and we had some guys get in trouble for not wearing proper gear during fire missions so ya'll are brave and to the guy who said they never see real war, im artillery too and all we do in iraq is patrols and kick down doors so suck some dick...
so funny, these american soldiers never saw real war.
They are laughing and stuff.
They don't even realize in a real war their whole battery would probably get destroyed by enemy artillery (US has some of the worst conventional artillery when compared to France, Russia, Germany).
And then they are claiming US soldiers are experienced. Experienced at what? Firing arty shells on defenceless enemy? That is one hell of experience.
The Marines have their own artillery, retard. So apparently they DO need it. They use a towed 155mm, shoots the same size shells as the Paladin in this video does, its just not as quick.
France Russia and German have slightly longer range cannons than the US. Noone on the planet is as good at "massing fire" as the US. That means making multiple shells hit 1 spot in quick succession.
For an artillery gunner, experience shooting shells is experience. Doesn't matter whether he's firing at troops in the open, or a building. The crew drill is the same.
Hooah to that bro, Im a 13B in the US army and man I'll tell you it doesn't change at all. The M109A6 Is the weapon to beat, The N.L.O.S. system is sick, It's a good day to be a redleg hooah..
Oh I also want to add to any morons below me who think there is no Marine Corp artillery I call bull shit on you. They train in the same place we 13B do our AIT if you were in the Army or the Marine Corp you'd know this crap, and even if you were and you don't know this crap you may have wanted a little more situational awareness there guy.
OOOO WOW a 2 round green bag fire mission. Big deal, you guys act like your all tuff. Looks more like a GQ commercial with your tags hanging out rather then artillery. When you start getting 15 round missions then we will talk. Do yourself a favor and next time you do a movie like this, dont act like a tough guy, your not good at it.

But then again, I'm only a soldier on my PC.

I would deadline that slow-ass rammer on the 2404. (I always said it was a hydralic fluid leak.) Just hand ram that shell and save a few seconds.

Finger popping; That's what I'm talking about.

Try doing that when you are engaged yourself.

You are clueless. The Marines don't have Paladins(Which that clearly is). That is Army Artillerymen wearing DCUs.
