Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - wigam - 01-17-2008 Next time your shelling the crap out of each other spare a thought for the boys providing your barrage. :bow: http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=159755&page=2 RE: Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - Weasel - 01-17-2008 Awesome video! RE: Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - Weasel - 01-17-2008 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. http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=159665&page=2 RE: Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - wigam - 01-17-2008 hahaha, what a difference. Just goes to show what training can do. RE: Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - Tide1 - 01-17-2008 Those American boys were cranking  you could almost smell the rotten eggs
RE: Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - Vesku - 01-17-2008 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 :) RE: Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - Weasel - 01-17-2008 Vesku Wrote:That was just like a well oiled machine!

RE: Spare a Thought for the Artillarymen - klanx171 - 01-18-2008 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. |
