Any artillery goons: Is it possible to fire a 100mm gun from a regular truck chassis? What about while moving? This seems like a really good way to have cheap mobile artillery that's fairly defensible. Fire a couple shots and roll away before the airstrike comes.

A standard small truck? I bet it would get knocked the gently caress over or bend the frame in just a few shots.

Still I'd think itd gently caress it up right quick and that fitting a gun when the chassis is on springs and a few feet off the ground is gonna tip it. ....maybe if theyre firing backwards no.

Yeah, I Am Not An Artilleryman, but it seems like the kind of thing that would gently caress up the frame of the truck after a few shots at most, and shooting any direction but straight forwards or straight back is gonna tip your lovely SPG over.

As an artilleryman I'll point out the 198 had aluminum trails that cracked fairly regularly and those were just metal legs with a shovel at the end so it'd dig in and not move as much when you fire. The 777 with titanium poo poo doesn't crack as much. Can't speak for the paladin but there's a reason our self propelled stuff is on tracks, not tires. Even scaling down I don't think your average truck frame is gonna take a lot of that type of abuse without serious reinforcement. Firing a cannon while moving is best left to tanks.

Yeah, an Abrams rolls at about 72 tons and even then firing off a round is a pretty exciting event. Cannon trailer does look like the best car chase weapon ever though.

The big strykers had a problem with tipping over when firing their mobile gun variant, but that was a direct fire variant I believe. Makes me wonder if direct fire guns have anything notably different than indirect. So I did some internet research. Indirect fire weapons can (and should) shoot beyond line of sight. A 155mm artillery piece for example has a much longer range because it's using a lot of propellant (powder). But also because it points up instead of ahead, duh. I don't know how much propellant is used in a tank or stryker MGS, but I have difficulty imagining fitting an equivalent amount in that tiny little metal cave. An abrahams gun according to the internet fires a 40lb projectile with a muzzle velocity of 1600m/s whereas a M777 fires a 90lb projectile at charge 8 super with a MV of 827m/s. All of those figures vary based on target range, projectile used, propellant temperature, etc. But it does appear that our big artillery gun fires a project ~2x the weight at ~1/2 the muzzle velocity, which suggests the same amount of energy is being transferred. The ratio of what's absorbed by the projectile and what's absorbed by the chassis and tube is....??? I am not a physicist. I trained on slide rules and tabular firing tables.

For our discussion, the conservation of momentum when each gun is fired is more relevant: as the projectile has a momentum of some magnitude and direction, so too does the gun have an equal and opposite momentum (y'know, recoil). If each gun was mounted on a truck and the weight of each gun was also similar (Wikipedia claims they are similar enough *cough*), then the chief differences between them would simply be the angle of their momentum relative to the truck (and thus, the angle at which they apply an impulse to the truck) and what that impulse to the truck would be like (i.e. how they each manage the recoil). The 120mm gun's momentum would be roughly horizontal to the ground while the 155mm gun would have both significant horizontal and significant vertical components to its momentum (i.e. it would be at an angle). The impulse that each would impart on the truck I don't know, because I don't exactly have lots of technical information about either gun and high-speed footage of each recoiling, so let's just say "gently caress it" and claim that they're roughly comparable and either one would wreck a trailer in short order. e: It's basically small and fast versus big and slow all over again.

If you're considering momentum, though, you can't just consider the projectile, because much of the momentum is that carried by the propellant gases, and the 155mm gun is using a much larger propellant charge. But yes, I think the takeaway is the same: truck trailers ain't designed for that poo poo.
