@elitesoldier357 Cheers to that brother. My brother in law was actually in iraq a few years back in the beginning, army infantry, but he doesnt talk about it much, so i don't really ask, ill find out first hand one way or another you know what i mean

[JamesDean779]

@elitesoldier357 you in the army or marines? im actually enlisting into the corps in a few months

[elitesoldier357]

@JamesDean779 I was in the Army. Did 4 years of active duty. Just got done last April

[JamesDean779]

Thats fucking awesome!

[elitesoldier357]

@JamesDean779 I appreciate it! In between fixing these bad boys I tried to get some good quality HD video for everyone to see how this King of Battle shoots!

[Cyan1902]

where is the boom from the impact?

[elitesoldier357]

@Cyan1902 The round is hitting at least 10 miles out I think. No boom from this one! Check out the direct fire videos if you like to see and hear the boom

beautiful piece of equipment

[LZKhyber]

nice vid, little joy playing that kinda toys..

[curbsidexprss]

the quadrant they are shooting is fine its called HA or High-Angle. its perfectly safe and you have to do it to make your target on some missions

[elitesoldier357]

@curbsidexprss Yep! Thats what indirect fire is all about! getting the round to the upper sphere of the earth allowing for little to no resistance, causing the round to travel further.

[curbsidexprss]

@elitesoldier357 i know all about IDF i was arty in the marines the round getting shot HA has more to do with what kind of mission they are shooting. reasons for shooting HA would include but are not limited to: shooting over an object to make your target. Illum missions, Excal missions and some SEAD's

@elitesoldier357 Troll ?

[elitesoldier357]

@moicced What do you mean troll?

[borneo230]

how do you aim the gun at something ?

[elitesoldier357]

@borneo230 The two guys on each side of the gun read the coordinates on a display

[elitesoldier357]

Thanks guys! I bought a High Def camcorder overseas at a shopette for $450. Looked up the model number online to find accessories and the camera itself is worth $1,000! LOL! Practically stole it!

[Stuvwyx]

This is incredible, great video!!

[Thechad201]

Holy shit! That f&*%$# gun is huge!

[achapman87]

down range you do wat you got to do to get rounds down range asap so quit hating.

[elitesoldier357]

@achapman87 Agreed! Thanks for the back up!

[teddyroosevelt2]

You guys should never be loading rounds at that elevation. Come on now. At least if you are going to post videos on Youtube of Redlegs, do it right.

[elitesoldier357]

@teddyroosevelt2 If youre going to hate on other peoples videos because you didnt shoot any yourself dont bother posting! Have a nice day!

[goofiegoofball]

I only ask because i only just went to m777 after being on the 198s. good bit of kit

[goofiegoofball]

what were you engaging?

[elitesoldier357]

@goofiegoofball Nothin. Just practice. If they were engaging something I would imagine it would involve something with two legs, a weapon and a towel in its head. LOL!
