[@user-wd1vd9du2q]

When I was in the 82nd Airborne we called these guys “ Cannon Cockers”! Do they still use that term? It was a term of respect! That was back in 1981!

[@geebskerbal2771]

What are the small white bags attached to the shells?

[@loganteodoro2885]

That's the powder. In this gun, there are seven powder bags. Based on the mission and range, the gun line is told how much powder to use based on a number

[@connorshields3264]

Can anyone explain why they tap the spent shells against the carriage of the gun before tossing them?

[@503kuma]

To make sure no unfired gunpowder left inside~

[@paw-pa8397]

As a 105 guy from the 1960's I was wondering that very thing. Our rounds base were made of brass these sound like they are made of another material, that was only almost 60 years. LOL

The demand for mustard oil is increasing all over the world and we have a successful crop

[@phill2065]

In what situation would you be using an artillery piece in direct fire?

[@FenixAlfa]

It's a very powerful weapon, and in some situations it might be their only weapon, it can deal with tanks and infantry equally, so... let's just say it's just not the optimal weapon

[@jimmybritt9537]

Tank killer , armoured personnel killer , supply truck killer , house killer , wall killer , and infantry killer , you get the point right . The howitzer is a big ole rifle when needed 👍👍🇺🇸

[@kiereluurs1243]

Why shooting that RIDICULOUS AMOUNT?

[@wiggywoo0]

is this training for ww2 ???

[@MikeHunt-rw4gf]

[@fuyuzuki1186]

[@behindenemylines.3103]

@muffler of sorrows And then Juba was delivered to the worms by Uber.

[@AKMA155]

미군은 언제나 분위기가 좋아 보여. 그게 헤이해져 보이는게 아니라 사기를 높이는 좋은 분위기 같아서 너무좋아. 반면 한국 군대는 너무 무게를 잡고 저런 상황에서 절대 즐기지 못하고. 항상 혼나지 않기만을 바라며 훈련에 임하지. 한국 군은 너무 남 눈치를 너무 많이 보는게 문제야 한국군은 훈련을 잘 마치는것 보다 내가 혼나지 않아야 된다는 거에 더 신경써.

[@johnbrattan9341]

Haven't they hit the target yet? Are they lousy shots.

[@user-ti1wk5hb3k]

🇺🇦🇺🇸♥️

[@4evaavfc]

These field guns will be good in Ukraine.

[@jannejohansson3383]

It's hard to say, they have more advanced stuff and it maybe too open fiel all around for this weapon.

[@jakeeves5935]

I do believe that these are possibly going to be sent to the Ukraine or have already been sent

[@user-kx1rg1mm1c]

​@@jakeeves5935они уже уничтожены вместе с расчётом. Они не дальнобойные и система арт разведки их засекает мгновенно . Через пару минут прилетит дрон и убьет всех
