Firing the 155 at max charge with a rocket on it rattles your bones. Being at the other end when it lands at 1000 m away is pretty impressive too. 13F.
@Erwin Rommel It would be possible to shoot close. But pretty sure the designers made sure that it would never go perfectly straight up otherwise that's a design flaw disaster waiting to happen and the Pentagon would not be happy with that. Otherwise some egghead Engineer decided to tinker with the weapon platform itself. Then that's on the Squad that managed it instead. Would be a terrible thing to even think about that. You'd wipe an entire arty section from blue on blue.
For those not knowing wth is going on. you usually yell PRIMED when the unit is ready for fire in the pull or slap of the trigger. This is to indicate to others around you that the weapon is hot, unneeded crew and persons need to step the fuck back. Right when everyone was getting ready to clear the breach, and ramrod everything, to load the unit - someone yelled 'PRIMED!' and it threw some people off. Not really a fail, more of a joke.
Ahhhhh that makes sense the black guy on the far left is literally dying laughing stomping his feet I didn’t even know what he was laughing at but I couldn’t help but laugh, he was just having an awesome time haha
Now I also noticed that someone yelled PRIMED although the rest of the crew is still reloading And there's some of the crew just simply asked "primed?!" before laughing their asses off
YEP, Those Crazy Americans... Shoot an Artillery Piece straight up in the AIR and when the shell comes back down, Blame the Taliban for it when they all killed themselves.
Ferengi Rat, nice you could join the conversation. What are the Wars really all about? Choose ONE answer: 1.) Weapons of Mass Destruction? 2.) Depose "EVIL" Dictators and free the People for "Democracy" 3.) Destroy Middle Eastern States Sponsoring and Funding "Terrorism" 4.) Stealing a Nations Gold Reserves and replacing it with Monopoly Money? 5.) Controlling a Nations Oil, Gas, and Mining Operations and confiscating the Profits? 6.) Protecting (or Looting) a Nations Ancient Artifacts and History? 7.) Using Western Nations to fight THEIR Wars (Who are they?)? Is the USA and our people being used as Auxiliary Slave Labor and our Military being sacrificed for a Hidden Agenda? If So... these men firing a Howiter think they are having fun while on the job... not knowing the JOKE has long been on them all their lives.... Is our sacrifices in these wars for FREEDOM and PEACE or our eventual enslavement too? You can see that while our Men and Women are serving overseas... at home more and more laws are being passed by the ENEMY WITHIN, The Domestic Enemies of our Home... Internationalist ... Bought Politicians ... to take more of your "FREEDOM" (Privileges) away from you when they get back. Ferengi RAT? Who is the Enemy Within? Hint: Who really Won WW1 and WW2? At what costs to the USA and our people? Just something to think about. I was working in IRAQ for 7 years after 20 in the USAF. When it occurred to me... the wars NEVER END. Why? We can defeat Germany, Japan and Italy while supplying our Allies with tons of supplies but we cannot defeat the "TERRORIST"? Who really did 911? Who truly attacked the USA? I have a story for you .... about a briefing we received at the BASE CHURCH THREE WEEKS BEFORE Sept 11.... Our Gov knew we were going to be attacked. It appears "OUR" Government allowed it to happen. Is this enough of a clue for you FELLOW RAT? I am for truth and justice and AMERICA. But the ENEMY WITHIN sits in the Halls of our Nations Seats of Power and are receiving your (our - All Americans are their Debt Slaves now...Unknowingly their INDENTURED SERVANTS) tax paid salaries to work against us... the Parasite with a Hidden Agenda. Our True Enemy... sits and laughs at us. They are Internationalist and many are Dual Citizens or their Paid Traitors to our country (CFR is one of their TOOLS and so is the RIIA).
Got distracted and wasn't listening, everyone started laughing, snapped back into it and started frantically looking around for something wrong, had to go to comments section to figure out what I missed
That's army for you. ..I'm 3 14 G battery 14th Marines basically for any one who watches this and not sure what's going on. ... he told them to prime to early.
Mr Deplorable 1776 KEK Marines fucked up fighting Japan, that’s why we had to drop the Nukes, The leadership knew they couldn’t take Japan. Just stating facts
Some* people complaining about the fact that the government is spending money on expensive shells and weapons with the money they got from taxes clearly don't understand how economy works. That money used to produce and fire these shells goes into the military weapon industry, then it goes into the metal industry and the staff that work there, then the staff from the weapon production factories and the staff from the metal and mining industry use that money to purchase items in shops, it then goes back into the economy. Money does not just disappear into thin air whenever it is used by the government. TL:DR: Money is given back to the people in one way or another.
Vladimir Putin 13B/13F just designate what job he did you fucktard. It has absolutely nothing to with his rank. Maybe do a little research before you talk shit and make yourself look like a damn fool.
It’s funny because he said “FIRE” in the beginning when the gun was not even loaded. It’s like having a cannon team your team is getting ready to prep cannon and someone says FIRE when it’s not even loaded.
The interesting question, did that shell turn over to nose down or did it come down rear end first. That is always the question when the elevation is that high.
Glad I was an Engineer instead of Artillery. A friend of mine was in Artillery and half the time I say something he says "Huh?" He needs to getta hearing aid.
@@mrandmrswilson0728 Oh wow, I thought regular army was getting beat up and not doing anything. I thought this position was like special if you did good on the asvab or something.
Damn those artillery pieces are neat! So glad Australia and America share such amazing war-fighting equipment manned by the most lethal warriors and protectors!
Steve Arthur Its not a matter of thinking,more knowing, we protect each other. The ANZUS treaty was created for the safe keeping of isolated western nations, like New Zealand and us, Australia from nearby neighbours who can, and have posed threats to our safe keeping. That being said, Australia is more than happy to help out America when and where they need the help, after all, they saved us a few times, why can't we return the favour a bit? And the 'World Champion' of losing wars is not only stupid, but false. I assume you talk about Vietnam and Afghanistan. Vietnam was not a loss for the west, we all pulled out by 73, the South Vietnam army became incapable of fighting and lost quickly, nothing do with America and Australia. And Afghanistan, as much of a pointless war as it is, brought about stability in the region, until NATO forces and others (Australia) pulled out. The problem with these conflicts is that their militaries are COMPLETELY incapable of fighting a 21st century war, hence why when military support from modern nations ceases, the foundations crumble. Hope this sheds some light on this topic, and sorry for the lengthy reply
Steve Arthur Its almost like you dont do any research on this topic. New Zealand and Americas relations are beginning to get better. If you had done even the small amount of research, you would know America stops a very likely Japanese invasion, fast forward a few years, the malayan emergency and East Timor, granted that they weren't trying to invade, but if we didnt go help, the region would be very tense. And if you had actually learnt about the commitments Australia did to the middle east, you would know that we brought stability to the region, same with Vietnam, but once we pulled out after a succesful campaign in terms of stopping the North, South Vietnams army failed quickly. I say 21st century war about tactics, and not necessarily about Taliban. The ANA does not utilise its arsenal at a functional level such as western, 21st century nations. Please learn before doing a rant mate, trust me it'll help in the long run 👍👌
Steve Arthur Japans intentions AT the time were unknown, hence why i said it, and yeah of course the US wants something, we're allies, the rest? Use fucking google to find it out lol, i dont need to sit and tell you things that you can google and get tbe answers to in a few seconds. Yeah i know i might be a bit incorrect on certain things, but the same as you-malaya and timor did pose a threat-a future economical crisis in the Asia Pacific.
Steve Arthur Look, i get where you are coming from and i respect you claims, but before stating that issues in Asia havent had a possibility of effecting us, think of the economy, trade is massive in Asia Pacific, can you imagine what it would be like without economic stability in the region? I certainly cant. And for the middle east, i mean Afgjanistan. Just one example is setting up schools in liberated areas for children-more importantly girls...to go to school, and have an education, a future they can love and live. We helped many other ways but i dont have time to talk, plus there is google. 👍👊
Oh, I hated that. They are firing at about 800 mils elevation because of the mountainside in front of them. This is a different gun than the one I was on, but it was near impossible to manually ram the round at 800 mils (they are using an auto rammer that we didn't have, and our breach was much lower than theirs), and thus the gun needed to be cranked down to about 400 mils to load. For each round, then cranked back up to 800 mils to fire (at 10 mils per crank, 40 cranks up, 40 cranks down). We did a test with 40 illumination rounds one day, and I lasted through the first 30 before I was exhausted.
I feel that explaining it would be like explaining a joke. But I will anyway. The Gun Chief gave to command "Fire". The gun was not loaded with a projectile, propellant charge, breech was open, and the gun was not primed. The gun was as close to firing as Bill Clinton was in telling the truth about Monica. That is why you see the other crewmembers looking at the Gun Chief and asking "Fire?"
I was just an artilleryman for 6 years, hardly an expert militarily. The gun in the video is a 155mm M777 howitzer. United States 155mm howitzers use what is called separate loading ammunition, that means that all the parts required to fire are separate from each other. The parts required to fire are the projectile (the thing that is shot out of the barrel), the propellant charge (the thing that shoots the projectile out of the barrel), and the primer (the thing that makes the propellant charge shoot the projectile out of the barrel). The breech is the part of the gun where these parts are loaded into the gun, it can be opened to load and closed to fire, this makes the gun a breech-loading gun instead of a muzzle-loading gun. The objective is to shoot a projectile out of the barrel of the gun: If the breech is open, the gun can not fire. If the primer is not in the breech, the gun can not fire. If the propellant charge is not in the gun, the gun can not fire. If the projectile is not in the gun, the gun can not fire. If there is a projectile in the gun, a propellant charge in the gun, a closed breech, and a primer in the breech, the gun CAN fire.
Just found this video from 2008. If you're in Artillery you'll laugh your ass off! If you're Infantry waiting on splash to save your ass, you're pissed the hell off! Well this explains why we have to wait so damn long after calling in a fire mission.
Ten minutes later the shell fell directly on the gun because of the elevation the howitzer exploded with the shell in and near it the soldiers end up injured some are dead some are knocked out some are lucky to survive the explosion while standing still the spalling from the explosions caused havoc making the soldiers location Exposed to the enemy Thus an enemy chopper with 2 vehicles containing 7 soldiers each raided the area killing the wounded taking those alive hostage Imma continue this some other time
You know these are Yankees because they seem always happy and unusually animated. This is how you differentiate US soldiers from Europeans since WW1. European soldiers are always grim.
You can't differentiate Canadians from anyone else, because we were never seen in the World Wars. The elite, hiding in plain sight... Spooky WOOOWOWOWOWO
Was it high? Was it low? Where the hell did that one go? And the Army goes rolling along.

wouldn't you? brings a tear to my eye every time i shoot my 12 gauge, i can't imagine what shooting a 120m or 155m at your target must be like.
Banzai I didn't know there was anything else to do when firing arty 😂😂😂
Firing the 155 at max charge with a rocket on it rattles your bones.
Being at the other end when it lands at 1000 m away is pretty impressive too. 13F.
Idiot
Boredom
Imagine if someone screamed out loud "its coming back!!!" After they shot the artilery XD
Marco Antonio Pires it dont work like that
@Erwin Rommel LOl why kill the joke -_-'
Ceiling Gang spits back.
@Erwin Rommel It would be possible to shoot close. But pretty sure the designers made sure that it would never go perfectly straight up otherwise that's a design flaw disaster waiting to happen and the Pentagon would not be happy with that. Otherwise some egghead Engineer decided to tinker with the weapon platform itself. Then that's on the Squad that managed it instead. Would be a terrible thing to even think about that. You'd wipe an entire arty section from blue on blue.

For those not knowing wth is going on.
you usually yell PRIMED when the unit is ready for fire in the pull or slap of the trigger. This is to indicate to others around you that the weapon is hot, unneeded crew and persons need to step the fuck back.

I hope they used a high angle primer! 😆
YEP, Those Crazy Americans... Shoot an Artillery Piece straight up in the AIR and when the shell comes back down, Blame the Taliban for it when they all killed themselves.
Well, technically its a Howitzer. Howitzer are designed to have very high firing arcs.
Maybe next time they can fire it at you then claim it was just a suicide.

Me too lol
Yeah i still haven’t figured it out tho
Instead of asking them to load the missile the commander said "fire!"
It's in the description of video

Finally, someone with logic for once about all this tax paying bullshit.
so if the government just keeps raising the debt with deficit spending, we'll all be ok!
eventually...

He said prime actually.
Jdr Eldridge no they laughed fire
He said fire and they said firee?? And he goes I said prime and they say now prime lmaooo
The fun thing begins when the shell falls back vertically.
i love it how somebody yelled "BOOM!" moment before the gun fired lmao
Then, they turn Artillery to Flak Cannon.
New ammo research : Flak Shell.
LMAO the best part is the “YEAYA” right after it fires
The interesting question, did that shell turn over to nose down or did it come down rear end first. That is always the question when the elevation is that high.

And you still fire a live round off? That is criminal!!
That laugh made this even better XD
"Fire!"
*Looks back at him like what the fuck?*
*"FIRE?!?"*
Damn, you guys are wearing same patch i had from C 1/321 ABN. That is hilarious
And that right there is why arty has no red cord still.
The must be playing a much higher stakes arrow game from the movie grown ups. With the angle of that gun.
It’s all fun and games till the artillery comes back
1/9 Fa. 13 boom boom. Lol. Thanks for the laugh
that thing looks like it's firing straight up.
Where was the Fail ?
I feel that explaining it would be like explaining a joke. But I will anyway.
The Gun Chief gave to command "Fire".
The gun was not loaded with a projectile, propellant charge, breech was open, and the gun was not primed.
The gun was as close to firing as Bill Clinton was in telling the truth about Monica.
That is why you see the other crewmembers looking at the Gun Chief and asking "Fire?"
Markius Fox oh I get it now thanks😂😂

I actually never realized how long the sound takes to go away, just gonna presume that's the sound of the shell going super fast through the sky.
terry waller still sounds amazing tho
it was a shell. if they would fire a blank the gun wouldnt have any recoil
What do u thinking,marines?A fire work?
its all fun and games until they realized they shot straight up and its coming back towards them
Coming to you live from the halls of Congress...
"Fire!"
"Fire????"
"Fire!!"
There's a reason these dudes are firing and it took them a FAT minute to get that fire to the dudes that needed it
That could have been deadly.
Lmao Slow down chief daddy
@gundog4314 It was really confusing thats why everyone looked at Chief like WTF?
They won't be laughing wen the forward team puts that hell from above on they asses
Somebody explain to me what was so funny I must’ve missed it. Love the big gun
He said fire before it was loaded.
Radionut R There’s lots on steps you have to take before firing and safety measures. Mans just said fire before as soon as he got coordinates

It's training, most of them are just out of basic
With the sword. Thout shall bare rule
Bruh someone gonna get slapped by their superior so hard after that
*"holy shi- ITS COMING DOWN"*
Peer insecurity makes for girlie laughter. John Wayne would not approve.
What happened if they put gunpowder before the projectile
Yells FIRE and not even loaded
i was waiting for the shell to come back right at them since they shot it right up the sky
no problem, He did educate good rest of squad. ;)
80 to 90 degree angle, shell might fall very close to the artillery
İmposible
I would not want to be standing under that barrel
Great shit thx for sharing.
Fuck I miss the army
Just found this video from 2008. If you're in Artillery you'll laugh your ass off! If you're Infantry waiting on splash to save your ass, you're pissed the hell off! Well this explains why we have to wait so damn long after calling in a fire mission.
They probably killed a bird passing by.. at least of a heart attack
Have the cherry go to Chief of Smoke for a high angle primer.
Ah... Just how vertical was that weapon, did it even have a shell and if so, where did it hit?
Congratulations you find " covid year " comment
Ten minutes later the shell fell directly on the gun because of the elevation the howitzer exploded with the shell in and near it the soldiers end up injured some are dead some are knocked out some are lucky to survive the explosion while standing still the spalling from the explosions caused havoc making the soldiers location Exposed to the enemy

It's hard to decypher what's going on true all the high laugh. It's a lot like the "la cage aux poules"
Would've laughed if the enemies artillery hit them first.
13 Bravo pea shooters, all that needs to be said.
really funny when you’re waiting for those rounds and getting shot at.
but maybe they were told they weren’t under fire.
Their shelling some people and laughing about it this is great
HotFrost The people they are shelling would have no problem doing it to them.
FIRE! as there is no load int he gun...WOW.... XD
Laughs like Stan Laurel
