Interesting: the max rate of fire on this M777 is 5 RPM. The 5"/38 we played with in the Navy was hand loaded, semi-fixed and fired at 15 RPM. Tony Canales and I did 22 RPM once but you're asking for problems. I need to find a video of this howitzer being loaded.

ReplyDeleteThat gun really jumped on that shot.
