Paladin, as cool as it is, SUCKS! They break down all the time and AKs penetrate. Much respect for the artillery, I'm a 13 Bang Bang.

@ 2ndRCHAret Thank you for your reply. He has been in for a year now and has been deployed for the past 6 months, 6 more to go!! He loves shooting that gun.

[2ndRCHAret]

Ever cross a river with flotation bags in one of these. It was awsome and a bit scary. Not a tank in the world that doesn't fear these guns.

Dude we are "The King Of Battle" who bail the infantry out. We do the same exact sh#t they do only we have bigger guns.

[alisaaustralia]

How is this job? This is what my husband will be doing.

[2ndRCHAret]

@alisaaustralia It is a great job being a 20 mile sniper. He'll have to train hard with the rest of the gun crews. There is a lot to learn. You get hours of bordom punctuated by minutes of absolute mayhem. These are the men that bring the thunder. Death and destruction on call 24 hours a day. He just got one of the best jobs in the army. I was proud to serve with the guns for many years.

[JABrooksC321]

Thanks huey180. My son rode around with me in one at the base.I'am sure that was against the rules,but what the hay. Also my daughter got to raise the tube and traverse the turret.

I was building memories.I'am a rebel I guess.

[huey180]

Great vid Bad ass weapon.

[JABrooksC321]

Yes 155mm.Longer tube though. We added Kevlar to interior,large rear bussel,up armor on rear, on board commo,new AFCS,Hot water heater,a few other goodies.

[POZ48]

Is that the 155mm gun? The unit I was with in Germany used a gun similar to that one. Of course, it was the older version.

[JABrooksC321]

Your welcome. It's what we do.
