There's no accelerant used, either... Still, beautiful to see China burn.

As long as the Palestinian combatants will hide amongst the Palestinian civilians, there will be civilians. Gunmen grab children off the street and use them as shields to cross from one location to another without drawing Israeli fire. It's inevitable that there will be civilian casualties.

So, as long as Hammas is doing the fighting, the Palestinian civilians will do the dying.

I wouldn't call it Australia's Alamo, it's more like Australia's Dieppe. Which, coincidentally, the Brits ran with all Canadian units. But you do have to hand it to the Brits: they did fight WWI to the last Indian...

I know what's wrong: The F-5 doesn't carry twin guns in the nose.

When I was a kid, I used to have an imaginary friend, and I used to think that he went everywhere whith me, and that I can talk to him and he could hear me,and he could grant me wishes and stuff.

And then I grew up, and stopped going to Church...

This looks more like standard Israeli bodyguard training.

Guns, I was a 13B for over 2 years before moving on to a more exciting 89D. And I only used the tray for rocket, chems, copperheads and nukes (practice rounds, not real ones), and pretty much anything over 120 lbs. Hand loading the round gets easy after about a year, and you don't seat it, you just lip it by hand and seat it by ram. No Ahnold needed, just 190lbs of piss and vinegar. BTW, do you have some footage shooting Red Bag?

And to address to cost issue, it's the cheapest way of putting steel on target there is. The fully fitted cannon is under $1.5M and the rounds are, per M-Guns, $400 a pop. And artillery has the highest survival rate of all combat MOSs. Very cost effective.

Guns, I take it you were no 02G...

Easy Guns, I meant no disrespect... The sled, or tray, is not needed for anything smaller than DPICM (which is at 125lbs) An HE is 92 to 105lbs. Smoke is less. Cannoneer #1 can handle the round and load it, lip it, then ram it. And by gunner I meant gunner #2, the guy that sets the elevation. Handling of primer from one hand to the other increases the chance of dropping it. And, BTW, the chief should not be jumping from one rail to the other; it's not ballet. Also, I bet SOPs vary between services quite a bit.

Sloppy work, MarineGunrock. They can save time by not using the sled and switching the location of the powder on the other side of the truck. And the gunner shouldn't touch the primer...
Still, thanks for the post; it took me back a few years.
