105mm howitzer vid 1

[mossyvale]

haha canadian miltary...still using artillery that we americans used in ww2.

[Gammodore]

@mossyvale Problem?

[7300Matt]

Yeah, looking at it again, it's probably lower than charge 3! I seem to recall a standard charge was 4. @beerrunner81, I was only a reservist for a couple of years in the very early eighties, but I'm afraid I question your creds or your eyesight!

[7300Matt]

There WAS recoil (looked like about charge 3) the cartridge was full size (blanks were about 6 inches long & finally, a blank would usually result in a big smoke ring. That was definitely a live round. i fired these M101A1's in N.Z years ago. (If we didn't catch the cartridge as the breech was opened our BSM would threaten to kick us in the nuts!!) Great gun!

[mrskillet101]

this is my m.o.s. and i cant believe i get paid to do this

[beerrunner81]

Shooting blanks I see. No money for the real thing?

[brielainee]

@beerrunner81 clearly it is not a blank, you can see the explosion in the distance

[beerrunner81]

@brielainee If it had a live round in it you would see the gun recoil. So this is a blank.

[beerrunner81]

@beerrunner81 So true, so true. That thing will hit you in the nuts if it were a real round.

[beerrunner81]

@brielainee I was in the Artillery for years, and when you fire the gun with live rounds

in them. You always get a recoil. If it don't do that, then it's a blank.

[tigermki]

@brielainee that wasn,t an explosion that wwas just dirt being kicked in the air from the blank projectile

[Maverick02571]

anyone have any idea on the dimensions of the 105mm shell? im doing a project on the ac-130 and need some info

[SlatanicG0D]

hELL YEAH

[ToothlessComb]

how far do these travel?

[ultimatevideowatcher]

holy crap! lol

[cannnonfoddder]

This badboy is on the AC-130

[alongthebluff]

No, the one on the AC130 is M102. This one is a reinforced and lengthen M101 (M101/33)

[Nasiar99]

they put these in planes

[Popsicle22754]

so how much punch does the 105 have

[alongthebluff]

Kill radius is approx. 40m for 105mm M1 (HE) round

[gunfrannie]

It is a SNIPING GUN mission so the #1, being a woman, is up on the vantage point observing the target while the 2IC is between the trails checking the gun and relaying orders. Canadian Gun Drill at its finest!!!

[mikethebike7]

section chief sounds like a girl

[ogiofgjoj]

pretty average. looks like a charge 1. number 2 doesn catch the empty cart case. and neither the number 2 or 3 wound off then back on.

[itzko1]

how come you can't see the round explode? are these practice munitions??

[moicced]

[simonjambe]

Charge 1? Pas beaucoup de recul, Ha! l'odeur de la poudre me manque! UBIQUE

[glcrighton]

Dude that was piss weak, what was that charge 1, Have you fired charge 7 at high angle,And where was your 2 down 2 up after the gun was fired to get correct elevation,Should join the Australian army and learn to do things right

[FieldGunner]

as soon as the casing came out they were on the sights doing their job, its canadian gun drill so I dont expect a digger to understand.

[grovejustin]

i got to shoot one of these with a blank round and damn was it awesome

[Frannicus]

[koomapoika]
