Next time your shelling the crap out of each other spare a thought for the boys providing your barrage. :bow:

Awesome video!
As a comparison, view this video of a Turkish 155 gun battery. The difference in professionalism is startling; while the Yanks are getting off about 6 or 8 rounds per minute, the Turks are lucky to get 1.

hahaha, what a difference. Just goes to show what training can do.
Those American boys were cranking Big Grin you could almost smell the rotten eggs Big Grin
That was just like a well oiled machine! Did you notice how one guy has to take time to check the shell, powder and direction then order standby and fire? Busy guy. I've done that job a few times :)

Dare I answer?!? You guys rip me a part what ever I write Big Grin
The yanks had the precision of a well oiled crew at the burger station at KFC, and I mean that as a compliment, the two jobs look very similar, minus the high explosives of course.

The turks, well maybe its just harassing fire rather than hell for leather, the presence of deck chairs does give it a holiday feel.
