military.com video of a actual fire mission. Let's see you hand-slap this

Unit ID: Tango Co 5th Battalion, 10th Marine Division 'Pain by Steel Rain'
Weapon: m198 155mm howitzer
charge: 203 Stick


Update: Due to the SPAM-BOT Horde I've shut down comments for the moment.

ECM is ON for the moment, will turn back off if conditions deem it safe.

  • Didnt think this video would become so popular. I was the guy running the powder without the flak jaket lol. It was frequen hot as hell in that powder room

  • @redrocket1180

    Bet it was. Welcome back from planet war.

  • I question BloodyAx guesses (17/18 Km away for target) . That seems like a low elevation for the Howitzer- To me seems more like direct-fire / gun shot versus howitzer lob.

    Why do the wheels move on the 1st shot? Not set/ dug in yet? Or will someone claim illusion form cameraman jerkiness.

    3/12 NGLO '88

  • @wfoj21

    I'm thinking fresh set, or switch from green bags to stick. may have been an azimuth change. only the cannon cockers on site could tell you.

  • Since it is pending approval. Sorry about all the comments at once.. I don't mean to bother you, I just get all hyped up when I watch this stuff.

  • ****** U.S.A. NUMBER ! *****

  • @redrocket1180 Do you know how these things are aimed?

  • Howitzer's are amazing.

  • @bertgomez1 Marines not maeines dumbass

  • @BongWaterSkinDiver

    As far as I have been informed this was an actual fire misson, as opposed to a training shot. the ones who can answer that better are free to chime in.

  • Why in Hell does this Gun Crew have their propellant charges stacked up on a rail leg? Are they //trying// to get themselves killed? Who-in-Hell is training these people?

  • Who put a soldier in there
