1. Shooting a hunting rifle makes a big bang, but this has to make you feel like the most powerful person in the world to fire.

2. Using similar ammunition with m110 howitzer, i guess.

3. I love that old American 8 inch ammunition happens to be compatible with old Russian 203mm howitzers.

4. That’s some serious head splitter.

5. I hope they’re all using proper ear protection

6. Why not 200.. Why 203..?

7. Naming artillery pieces with gigantic calibers after dainty flowers.

8. – Thanks for info-portal “Tysk” (pressure) for your help.
