@XWHITEoKNIGHTX19 Um, sort of. You have RAAMS and ADAMS or some shit, I cant remember the acronym. They lay mines. Or you can do a killer junior - you put a time fuze on an HE and have it blow up while it is still in the air.
@Stuckinthemuck1 Actually-no. There is a name for direct and Ithink area targets. These mainly have to do with distance and kill ratios. In direct fire-you can hit whatever in a very precise manner-area wouldbe they were to far away but sometimes you can walk it in and other times you will not. Not knowing enough about arty-I think maybe 20-25 miles for direct fire. everyb weapon system has different direct fire distances.
Personally, I would prefer to hear the Chief of Piece calling off the commands and the sound of the crew and gun. When you have something this dramatic, why clutter it up with music?
wait till you boys get to do that shit for real bro...shit is way more moto...taliban shits a brick the size of a buik when they realize thos big guns can point right at um and letterrip.

song sounds good, whats it called? mf badass? lol, guns are badass, we fire old 75 mils in the NIB (norwich independent battery) i was just searchin for some bigger guns to look at, shit gives us a hard on. ur vids not bad, let me know about that song.
In 1969 we fired our 8" SP at High Angle with Firecracker rounds to hit sappers that broke through our perimeter at FB Oasis. We fired 6 rounds in 7 minutes...air burst that kicked out a bunch of g renade sized bomblets that popped up chest high and shredded the rubber ground cover at the chopper pad. It also shredded 8 sappers...FUBAR. We shot all 6 rounds before the first one hit the ground. The 8" is long gone now. You guys have got some fandamntastic howitzers and rocket arty.
direct fire from a155 mm must be a real bitch on a tank. In the 6 day war a battery of Israeli AMX105's opened up on a stray Egyptian T-55 that got caught behind their lines. It was not pretty from what I hear; and that was just 105 's.
@Paulwander Yes, before i retired the battery had four 7.63 MMG & four 12.7mm M2 HMG in its equipment. We set the MMG to cover the rear. The HMG were for anitaircraft defense, helocopter gunships I supose.
In Desert Storm 1991 at least one Marine battery direct fired their howitzers on a battalion of lost iraqi tanks that wandered into sight.
Direct fire is to kill things that get too close to the battery. If Arty is in direct fire usually something else didn't work rigth - google "beehive round" made for 105 mm. There's a way to shoot DPICM similarly but never heard of anyone doing.
2003 i was apart of a direct fire mission that turned mud hutts into ant hills> semper fi, And by the way you want life expierance join the Marines you want to be a powder puff do something else!
Music? You can't call that music. You'd better let the original sound 'cause it's better music the sounds of firing artillery than those ugly groans of a dopped-up band.
Yeah, if you want to be a tank commander, you don't have to be an officer. Officers are usually in charge of platoons at the lowest level,. Most tank commanders (Or commanders of any single vehicle for that matter) Are NCO's, so you'll have to spend time gaining rank before you get a tank crew. Go infantry. If you're going to acquire skills of no use to the regular world, at least get in great shape as a result. Or be an X-Ray tech, I know that skill set is very profitable in the regular world.
Really cool. Hey, I'm currently 14, but I know I want to go into the Marines after High School so that I might get a little help for college. I know I want (but what I get is another thing entirely) to either go into being a tank driver (or gunner, or maybe commander if I go into NROTC) or something to do with artillery. Are there any Marine veterans or just people with opinions here that could help? Pros and cons? Please help (then again, I've got 4 years).
@KittyRokher I want to do the same stuff but what I have heard about the Marines is that you arent guaranteed your mos, but you are guaranteed your element(ground, air or logistics). You get your mos based on the needs of the corps. In the US Army u pretty much are guaranteed your mos, as long as youqualify for some secret clearances. Im a freshmen and doing NJROTC even though it kinda sux you should do it if your school has it because if you join as enlisted you can be an E3 instead of an E1
Yeah, ive got some advice. Half those guys in the video tried for tanker and ended up as arty. Not because they didnt have the scores, just because more people want to join as tankers than the Corps has open spaces for. So they got stuck shooting 155. If you like the sound of tanks and arty, well then hell, shoot for tanks and maybe youll get it. And if you dont, chances are youll be shooting arty.
p.s. shooting arty isnt the worst thing in the world. I certainly enjoy it.
Man, how in the world do you prepare for noise of that volume??? That cannon had some wicked concussion! I would want to do that job but, man, how would you get used to that loudness???
Jesus Christ, can't you jar-head fags pick a different song to put on your videos? I been in in the corps for more than 7 years now and that song has been out since I before was a private back in '02. Now I'm a sergeant and after 2 tours in iraq and 1 in afghanistan, I still hear that same old shit.
Damn! You really hate Marines don't you? What happened, a Marine took your wife and gave her back after the whole squad ran through her? How about a nice tall glass of HATORADE!
Hahaha u guys wanna be 0811... Alright. Come and get some. Have fun too. You won't be thinking the same thing when you get here. 1st rule of marine warfar- dont bring artillery unless you want to kill everyone. 2/11 F
Im an 0811 and this is always awesome stuff to see, but seriously devil, get a more original soundtrack. This song is used in every moto vid and its getting really old.
i did have another one, youtube turn the music off and told me it was copyrighted..they gave me a list of music i could play and i chose this one. i think youd rather hear this than jack johnson.
depends what MOS you want...gun bunnies,the ones that fire th cannons don't have rally strict requirements....If you want to see the rounds blow up, like me, you shoud a forward observer, but the physical requirements are a lot tougher, because you go with the infantry, but you have to carry more stuff than them
i would'nt listen to him cause the U.S Army gets better guns because they have thier asses stuck in government hands to get rich while the U.S Marines use older guns and we don't use the government much to get better weapons
Really I guess the the Army has newer M777's. Idiot we get the gear we need based on what we do! Why do we need more and more gear just to bogg us down?
Depends on who you ask! It's like when you were kids, you always wanted what the other kids had, even though you had the same thing! You just thought it was cooler because someone else had it.
You cant party without Arty. Nothing turns a girl on more than something that goes BOOM! Wait um I should speak for myself...guess it depends on the girl. I love the sound of artillery fire when Im on base.
I came to the fleet in 2004 and was the 1st unit to get them . I was also the 1st class at FT.SILL to train on them . 3/11 K battery . I was on the gun that fired the 1st round in the fleet ! pretty fuck'n cool =)
I'd rather have an M-198 though . The damn thing just won't brake . 777 brakes all the damn time .
Well we're known as the King of Battle. The infantry, which are the gunts, one of the toughest if not THE toughest MOS...then its probably Artillery...its no easy work..100lb rounds n all...lifting that, unloading it, and 50 others like it off the 7ton...all insane MOS's aside of course, i.e. recon.
I agree, I'm 5'11 and weighed 145 when I got to the fleet. But I when I was the ATC guy on my crew I gained about 40 pounds of muscles within 6 months. I think the heaviest round was dpicm which was ove 130 pounds, but correct me if i'm wrong.
no, i believe ur right. ya 0811 is a pretty tough job. I've all ready messed up my shoulders. they're so messed up man, i got 15 xrays 2 days ago on them. goin for a MRI 2m or the next day. hopefully i aint bad news. the Corps tough, but i would hate to get discharged so soon.
Get all that stuff documented on your medical record. Even the little shit cause when you get out you can collect some disability. I got lucky and never got hurt just bruised and banged up. I'm out the corps now and I miss the sweet smell of ether! lol
Awesome scene though I can't imagine it happening on a conventional battlefield with a modern foe with rapid counterbattery capability who can shoot back with heavy stuff. What is the sighting arrangement for that kind of super-close work, or do you have to open the breech and look down the tube (LOL!).
The gunner has a telescopic sight for DF. We trained at it, but regarded it as a emergency measure. In Desert Storm 1991 one of our batterys DF on some Iraqi tanks that got a tad too close.
Its the best damn job in the USMC... Its tough, and it has downsides, but the adrenaline rush one gets when that howitzer goes off is unparallel to anything else... I can honestly say that I love my job when we are firing the weapon... it'll make you one big motherfucker too... I'm about 5'8" and 185 lbs... mainly muscle because of hauling those projectiles around, its a very physical job but I love it
this is oscar battery, we have a guns platoon and a headquarters platoon. We also have a headquarters battery at our unit. If ur a 0811, u'll be in guns, if ur arty support like com or fdc u'll be in headquarters platoon. lol, july 2009 huh? i was deped in for 7 months b4 i went to boot. graduated honor platoon aug10 2007. LOL, if we go to afghanistan or iraq like we are scheduled to, you'll be joining our unit right b4 we ship out, tht sux for you. neways, good luck man, boots def not easy.
Mean looking gun :)Nothing beats the spectacle of firing a 155mm howitzer listening to the sound of the shell going downrange and then several seconds later the bang of the shell and the earth shaking from the force of the detonation :P Its been 16 years since I fired a M109A3 last but I will never forget it. Man I envy the gunners in this video :)
a M777 is a Howitzer, a real big cannon. it shoots 100lbs. rounds, or "bullets". it can shoot up to 18 miles, if need be, and causes massive amounts of damage. Its the job we have in the Marine Corps that we use these is Artillery. the M777, or the trip7 as people call it in here is the newer version of the M198. its bout 9000lbs as apposed to about 18000 w the M198. more mobile. we got gps and other kool thngs. hope that helped. ask me nemore q's if u got them...sum1 plz correct if im wrong.
whoa thats freaken cool. also realy nice how u guys direct those shells rite on target. sadly our dutch army isnt using these things anymore, but the new pzh2000 pantserhouwitsers. i do wonder how those shells can always drop right on target?
I recall reading somewhere that it was in the Civil War that indirect artillery fire was used for the first time. Though it still seems unworkable decades before the first hydraulic, hydro-pneumatic recoil systems came out around WWI. How could you do it after all, if the cannons had to be rolled back into position and resighted after each shot?
Indirect fire goes back to the 16th Century when heavy mortars or other short barreled cannon lobbed cannon balls and bursting charges over fortress walls. And no, it did not work very well until modern gear appeared at the end of the 19th Century
its NielsEn* cpl....n i kno i saw the pictures on Davilas camera..woops..all i gotta say is that you gotta be half way homo to do that shit, n get pleasure out of that shit too. w/e, everyone the bitch as some point and time.
hahah what up nielson! its montross, how random is that that im looking at videos and ur commenting on them....and yea fuck quebec hahah nasty disgusting things!!
ya, it was a 9er8 they rolled, along with an ammo truck, and i think another battery might have rolled something as well, but not us...figgen shitbags.
I know that this has been said already, but the 155 sings for itself.

i would'nt listen to him cause the U.S Army gets better guns because they have thier asses stuck in government hands to get rich while the U.S Marines use older guns and we don't use the government much to get better weapons
VGamer102591 2 years ago
Really I guess the the Army has newer M777's. Idiot we get the gear we need based on what we do! Why do we need more and more gear just to bogg us down?

Depends on who you ask! It's like when you were kids, you always wanted what the other kids had, even though you had the same thing! You just thought it was cooler because someone else had it.

I came to the fleet in 2004 and was the 1st unit to get them . I was also the 1st class at FT.SILL to train on them . 3/11 K battery . I was on the gun that fired the 1st round in the fleet ! pretty fuck'n cool =)
I'd rather have an M-198 though . The damn thing just won't brake . 777 brakes all the damn time .

is this a cool MOS for tthe marines?
firerabbit456 3 years ago
Well we're known as the King of Battle. The infantry, which are the gunts, one of the toughest if not THE toughest MOS...then its probably Artillery...its no easy work..100lb rounds n all...lifting that, unloading it, and 50 others like it off the 7ton...all insane MOS's aside of course, i.e. recon.

I agree, I'm 5'11 and weighed 145 when I got to the fleet. But I when I was the ATC guy on my crew I gained about 40 pounds of muscles within 6 months. I think the heaviest round was dpicm which was ove 130 pounds, but correct me if i'm wrong.
salinster 3 years ago
no, i believe ur right. ya 0811 is a pretty tough job. I've all ready messed up my shoulders. they're so messed up man, i got 15 xrays 2 days ago on them. goin for a MRI 2m or the next day. hopefully i aint bad news. the Corps tough, but i would hate to get discharged so soon.
jeffnielsen 3 years ago
Get all that stuff documented on your medical record. Even the little shit cause when you get out you can collect some disability. I got lucky and never got hurt just bruised and banged up. I'm out the corps now and I miss the sweet smell of ether! lol

Awesome scene though I can't imagine it happening on a conventional battlefield with a modern foe with rapid counterbattery capability who can shoot back with heavy stuff. What is the sighting arrangement for that kind of super-close work, or do you have to open the breech and look down the tube (LOL!).
pinz2022 2 years ago
The gunner has a telescopic sight for DF. We trained at it, but regarded it as a emergency measure. In Desert Storm 1991 one of our batterys DF on some Iraqi tanks that got a tad too close.
CarlSchwamberger 2 years ago
Its the best damn job in the USMC... Its tough, and it has downsides, but the adrenaline rush one gets when that howitzer goes off is unparallel to anything else... I can honestly say that I love my job when we are firing the weapon... it'll make you one big motherfucker too... I'm about 5'8" and 185 lbs... mainly muscle because of hauling those projectiles around, its a very physical job but I love it

Mean looking gun :)Nothing beats the spectacle of firing a 155mm howitzer listening to the sound of the shell going downrange and then several seconds later the bang of the shell and the earth shaking from the force of the detonation :P Its been 16 years since I fired a M109A3 last but I will never forget it. Man I envy the gunners in this video :)
Nice video - keep 'em comming :D
P.S. Nice hit near the end of the video

wth is a trip 7 and a niner 8?
draadstaal33 3 years ago
a M777 is a Howitzer, a real big cannon. it shoots 100lbs. rounds, or "bullets". it can shoot up to 18 miles, if need be, and causes massive amounts of damage. Its the job we have in the Marine Corps that we use these is Artillery. the M777, or the trip7 as people call it in here is the newer version of the M198. its bout 9000lbs as apposed to about 18000 w the M198. more mobile. we got gps and other kool thngs. hope that helped. ask me nemore q's if u got them...sum1 plz correct if im wrong.
jeffnielsen 3 years ago
whoa thats freaken cool. also realy nice how u guys direct those shells rite on target. sadly our dutch army isnt using these things anymore, but the new pzh2000 pantserhouwitsers. i do wonder how those shells can always drop right on target?
draadstaal33 3 years ago
its not a newer version its a whole new gun
GUNNY89 3 years ago
ya sorry ur def right. its not just upgrades, its a whole new gun that is better in every way i can think of compared to the M198
jeffnielsen 3 years ago
yea, the thing can find itself in the field and the barrel is titanium i believe. plus some interesting techy features.

I recall reading somewhere that it was in the Civil War that indirect artillery fire was used for the first time. Though it still seems unworkable decades before the first hydraulic, hydro-pneumatic recoil systems came out around WWI. How could you do it after all, if the cannons had to be rolled back into position and resighted after each shot?
pinz2022 2 years ago
Indirect fire goes back to the 16th Century when heavy mortars or other short barreled cannon lobbed cannon balls and bursting charges over fortress walls. And no, it did not work very well until modern gear appeared at the end of the 19th Century
