Five round mission

A five round battery mission firing M198 155mm howitzers. And, yes, we spanked everybody.
The best crew I ever worked with.

was this fire for a fact?

@KosamiCheats Yes, this was fire.....for a fact.

Marines were faster.

[fjwjr]

@EddoMundo Here we go again with another dummy who doesn't know what he's looking at.

Yes, they were faster. But they only shot three rounds. They were in a combat zone firing a combat mission where live were probably on the line down range. So they skipped a lot of safety procedures that can get you removed from your position in training.

You're comparing apples and oranges.

@fjwjr Marines are only worried about getting the Job done. We can worry about our own safety when the enemy is dead. It's all about speed and making sure you're brothers are getting the rounds down range that they need.

@emospacebar I was trying to avoid saying it above, but here we go. Another dumb Marine who doesn't understand.

Go back and reread ther post above

I had the privilege of being on a small FOB in Afghanistan that had two 777 guns and whenever I had the chance to go watch the artillery guys work I was up there watching them. A NASCAR pit crew aint got sh!t on this!!!

@MrJeffropgleberman The 155mm HE 107 is a high explosive fragmintation round. If a HE 107 were to be fired at the 50 yardling durring a high school football game everyone on the field and sidelines would be killed. If a DPICM were to be used it would kill everyone on the field and most of the people in the stands. In World War II MILLIONS of men were killed by artillery. In the Korean War American artillery killed over half a MILLION Chines men a year.
