You are what we fight and die for so jerks like you can talk like this??? I bet you are a real fine upstanding citizen. Single wide or double??? Red neck ass!

[BeaverWalrus]

those shells weigh like 500 fucking lbs, so try carrying that with one hand to the door 3 feet away and then unscrewing it with you free hand and then opening it load the primer and shell and then shut it and then take the commmands on where to shoot aim and fire? maverick50616 your new name is dumbshit. study what soilders have to do out there before you let all that shit come flying out of your mouth on to me.

As a one time 13 Bravo today's concept of Field Artillery is as it was 200 - 300 years ago.

[dungman101]

[dungman101]

[LostSoulFB]

SHUT UP ASSHOLE

[dungman101]

yeah, yeah w/e

[dungman101]

wait...also ur thing is the same is the FH2000....they just copied and pasted....and its azn...im azn, american, so either way...

[greekdish]

The Howitzer hasnt changed much since WWI. The US didnt copy and paste from Singapore...Singapore copied and pasted from the US and France. Check out the 155mm GPF from WWI. Not much has changed except adding new modern features.

[cutewolf89]

The FH-2000 design was very much like the FH-88 design (both Singaporean made). The FH-88 looked pretty much like the Soltam M-71 (the old Israeli howitzer).

Then again, Singapore had its own variant of the M-71 howitzer, called the M-71S.

That's all Singapore does these days. Buy and improvise. Wonder what they're gonna call those new 'Leopard 2's they purchased. Leopard 2A4 SM1??

[NoShame86]

you from arti ar? lol

[cutewolf89]

Nope. But I love the army. Ive seen the shards and shrapnel from an exploded 155mm round. Wicked.....:)

[neilwetmore]

pretty much every weapon for god knows how long now in some way has been influenced by a previous weapon. invention really isn't the key. adaptation is

[1olddavid]

Adapt and overcome.

[MrWolg]

I thought howitzers would be a lot louder. Still cool though

[RaggaRasta]

My tours, 3-320th FA 101st Airborne Division Fort Campbell, 1-15th FA 2nd Infantry Division Camp Casey Korea, 6-27 FA III Corp Artillery Fort Sill and 1-33 FA 1st Infantry Division Bamberg Germany, Jah Bless all Artilleryman...

[usmcrtr]

Hmmm...somebody has been screwing me out of my bunker all these years..guess I need to get some 11's hot building it.

[wallybighairyass]

Wait until these guys get the command

"Expend All Ammo" then you know you are in some deep shit. Or wait until mortar rounds are dropping in your parapit and FDC is screaming for you get out on the guns to fire counter mortars while they are in a sandbag bunker five feet thick. Oh Yea!

[ssu123]

i must say these chaps look professional. except for the unnessary talking.

[Timsierramist]

Unecessary talking? I'd have to say that going through fire missions is an intense thing. Your heart pounds, your lifting 110 pound HE and WP rounds, and to do that all the time would wear us out in hours. About 98 1/1% of the time were just sitting around and talking because theres 3 days to a week to be in the field, and only so many rounds we fire Priority goes to Infantry training for Iraq. Talking is just part of being on the gunline, removing stress and easing boredom.

[ssu123]

I know what you mean.

[muahahaha]

lol true

[Burnz2much]

@Timsierramist some people have no clue about arty.. cant blame them, they will never know and that brings me joy haha :))

[Bicasso]

since this is the Marines you're missing out on the cussing, we cuss and we love it

[ssu123]

we curse too

[scvet77]

There was way too much side conversation going on during the mission for my taste. To each his own though. I was a section chief in Echo 2/11, I got out in Nov of 2004.

[drunkenasian]

i love it
