Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,541 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 M 110 you say? Does that come with a retractable stock? Pretty long tom of a gun. Maybe you could cut the barrel down and make it SASS legal. Link to post Share on other sites

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,541 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 A body just had to love the brown boots and black dye. Three minutes on the parade ground in the pre run hours and zip, you were back to brown. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tennessee Stud, SASS# 43634 Life Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 "Artillery adds dignity, to what would otherwise be an ugly brawl" It is the worse lie of warfare... artillery adds uncertainty. And... uncertainty... when crossin' a piece of ground... is crucial. I have never carried a weapon with Nationalistic malice... but.... {deleted dodfas}... ts Link to post Share on other sites

Noz 1,961 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Calling in artillery is easy. Keeping calm.... not so much. I had the honor of being on the hill in Grafenwoehr running the OP for my unit when the 280mm cannon fired it's last mission. All firing stopped on the range. The command to fire battalion one round (two guns) was given. A round went over our heads into the impact area. My Buck Sgt looked at me and screamed "that was only one". We hit the ground just as the second round hit the slope behind us. I guess when you're shooting 17KT loads you don't have to be real accurate. Link to post Share on other sites
