M110.jpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M110_howitzer

The 8 inch (203 mm) Self-Propelled Howitzer M110 was the largest available self-propelled howitzer in the United States Army's inventory. It was deployed in division artillery (DIVARTY) in general support battalions and in separate corps- and Army-level battalions. Missions include general support, counterbattery fire, and suppression of enemy air defense systems. The M110 was exported to a number of countries and remains in service with the Spanish and Greek Armies.

[edit] General Characteristics
The M110's rate of fire can reach 3 rounds per minute when at maximum, and 1 round per 2 minutes with sustained fire. Its range varies from 16,800 m to 30,000 m when equipped with a rocket-assisted projectile.


[edit] History
The heritage of the M110 goes back to the British 8 inch (203 mm) howitzer of the Great War. A number of these were used by the American Forces and the design used as the basis for their howitzer. The M110A2 is the latest version with double muzzle brake, the earlier A1 version had a plain muzzle. It first entered service with the US Army in 1963. It has been used in the Vietnam War by the United States Army, and in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm by the United States Army, and the British Army.

The gun system has been retired from US Army service; howitzers above 155 mm caliber are no longer effective as technology has closed the range and firepower gap, and the heavier weapon systems require more resources to operate. The gun barrels have been used as the outer casing in the manufacture of the GBU-28 bunker buster bomb.

In the AF we got to shoot the M-16 (with a .22 adapter on it) for a couple hours one day in boot camp.

It jammed every 3rd or 4th round, then you raised your hand and the D.I. would come clear it for you.

We didn't have to qualify ... just get rid of 50 rounds, so we were shooting each others targets :)

Sweet. (seriously)

Did they let you play with the sirens and shit?
Yep,I did every job...even substituted as section chief...

My first ARTEP we were shorthanded, as usual, and I had to lift those 210 pound HE shells myself.
