Lets see some live rounds now! Those blanks are boring.
-
Doesn't look like their moving quite as quick as they would have been back in the day when your ass was on the line...
-
Blanks? I'm not impressed. Could've at least used full charges.
-
@HMservant Yes mate take a shovel and a ferry trip to France and start digging. You are bound to find one in the end. :-)
-
Thank the gods it was only four shots. Any more and the guys would have choked on the smoke. :-)
-
epic :D
-
If they were at Le Cateau, they'd be firing at twice that rate. At least.
-
That was slow as fuck... My team could be firing those every two seconds.
-
Does anyone know where one could acquire such a gun complete with ammunition and limber?
-
Agreed, although finding chaps profficient in the use of 100 year old guns is a challenge.
Also I think the key reason is the lenghening saftey regulations that companies like GWS and other re-enacters have to abide by.

Yep, it's a genuine 18 pounder! The re-enactors are based at the Armouries themself so are trained on the weapon etc, quite a few re-enactors use artillery in the UK, i've been on the gun crew for a 75mm pack howitzer before with blank ammunition

They could have done it much faster if the loader went back and got the next round while the gunners were firing. By the time they were done he would have had the next round in hand and ready to go.
