Grenades



While on active duty, I was privileged to put a box through a Mk19 at a fam-fire, (my primary MOS was mortars, not heavy guns). I'd describe the experience as "fully automatic heroin."

Then you, my friend, have never Direct fired (line of sight fire) a 155mm howitzer. To see a 110lb round strike a target and watch a tank blow apart.....beauty.

Damn, I thought I was the lucky one. I have fired every weapon in a line and weapons company to include the Mark 19, but a direct fired howitzer shot.....instant woody!

Impressive. I suppose since you have butter-bars FO-ing for you, direct lay is about the only way you can hit anything. =oP

Now man-port that 155, ya damn redleg. Real men don't need trucks.
