Mean looking gun :)Nothing beats the spectacle of firing a 155mm howitzer listening to the sound of the shell going downrange and then several seconds later the bang of the shell and the earth shaking from the force of the detonation :P Its been 16 years since I fired a M109A3 last but I will never forget it. Man I envy the gunners in this video :)

Nice video - keep 'em comming :D
P.S. Nice hit near the end of the video

a M777 is a Howitzer, a real big cannon. it shoots 100lbs. rounds, or "bullets". it can shoot up to 18 miles, if need be, and causes massive amounts of damage. Its the job we have in the Marine Corps that we use these is Artillery. the M777, or the trip7 as people call it in here is the newer version of the M198. its bout 9000lbs as apposed to about 18000 w the M198. more mobile. we got gps and other kool thngs. hope that helped. ask me nemore q's if u got them...sum1 plz correct if im wrong.

whoa thats freaken cool. also realy nice how u guys direct those shells rite on target. sadly our dutch army isnt using these things anymore, but the new pzh2000 pantserhouwitsers. i do wonder how those shells can always drop right on target?
