They were on the ground for all of like an hour before they left.

It's got also got a pretty big pressure wave just from shooting. Remembering correctly the Swedish army doesn't let you fire it more than a couple of times a day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geHcGCYAoXk

Wild Horses posted:It's got also got a pretty big pressure wave just from shooting. Remembering correctly the Swedish army doesn't let you fire it more than a couple of times a day. Rangers(and the rest of SOF, probably) have a rule that you can only shoot something like 5 during training and 10 in combat. Didn't stop goose teams from shooting way more than that and then being all hosed up the next day and a half from all the overpressure.  Edit: yeah, they got a few rounds.  per wikipedia: High Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP) round High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) round High Explosive (HE) round Illumination round Smoke round Area Defence Munition (ADM) flechette round I think there was a thermobaric round? Not positive, though. Slim Pickens fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Dec 23, 2015 |

It's interesting that the shorter rounds have such a massive blast compared to the longer ones. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Dec 23, 2015 |

Pretty sure those are training rounds, with the blue tip. Probably shooting a 9mm round or something like the AT4 trainer?

Yeah, I translated the video description and they're 20mm sub-caliber training rounds.

You start to feel really tired after you shoot a bunch of rounds out of a goose. I think one guy AG'd for a little over 50 rounds in one day when I got to shoot it.

Friend of mine was in NorBat in Lebanon in the 80s and mistook a smoke round for a star shell in the dark. So they fired and waited for the flare to light to see who was sneaking about Hezbollah highway that night, but nothing happened. And then they heard the air raid sirens from the Israeli side where the shell had landed and been mistaken for a gas grenade.

See that foxhole?  We dug that up with ~20 rounds prone. Hard packed gravel and rock sand. It'll kill you stone dead on shorter ranges and mess you up bad a good way back. The loader's primary job is to keep looking back and shout "all clear" every few seconds and not the least bark for the gunner to hold fire if some dipshit's flawed life path aimlessly meanders into the triangle of death.

Didn't stop goose teams from shooting way more than that and then being all hosed up the next day and a half from all the overpressure. The first time I was a gunner on one of these in the late 90s we were told the same thing. Then I got it back 13 years later and we shot this in three sessions over 24 hours, between eight cannons with gunners and loaders switching midway:  Did have a mighty bitching headache the last night, though. Might've been too little to drink for all I know.
