With 155mm USA vs 130mm Cannon of Soviet. Which one are more powerfull?
I Knew 130mm shoot farther than 155mm! and if in the real fight cannon vs Cannon USA +South Vn will lost to VC because They can shot to us but we could not reach them!!! and that are not including 122 Kashy-Usa missiles (spell) ~!! Compare with communist We (US and South VN) alsways UNDER GUN!!
@CharlieDoan M1954 M46 Gun-Howitzer could fire faster; 5 rpm sustained and 8 max rpm. The M114 =3-4 rpm - Not sure but seems the Soviet gun takes it - even if it was 25mm smaller if you consider the faster rpm and longer range it would theoretically deal more damage as the M46 fires 33kg x 6 rpm = you know the maths. Also depends on gunners - the North Vietnamese were pretty good gunners - read the battle of An Loc 1972 or even the Khe Sahn Siege. 1967 Con Thien was another example.
@CharlieDoan The only true competitor for the M1954 or the Chinese Type 59 Gun-Howitzer was the American M107/M110 180mm/203mm guns - as those self propelled guns were the only guns that had a range beyond that of the 130mm M1954/Type 59 guns but the problem as the American guns could be inaccurate and rpm was like 1 round every 2 minutes as it was a huge gun with a large charge/preparation required! The 122mm Katyusha rockets were another nasty thing - at Khe Shan '68 in particular...
@CharlieDoan * some armies call it the Firing Battery-the gun and the crew... emplaced in the COB or the Center of Battery, Fire direction Center- the Brain, and forward observer the eyes....
Great video ! Finally some serious information about the M114 ! I served in a unit of such Howitzers in the late '80s, Just a couple of years before to retreat them from the Greek Army!

We was told that the M114's we used were bought from the US Army after the end of the war in Korea, and I guess that it was true!
