And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

We use to see and follow 60mm mortar rounds go through the whole parabolic arc. Most arty rounds (105,155,175) don't travel that fast. Direct fire 90mm tank or 106mm recoilless rife are another story.
I remember the ground vibrations from the 155's when I was in Salerno Afghanistan - it was a double pulse. That is how I knew it was outgoing instead of incoming. Indirect fire works well in battle.
The king of the battlefield.
