I don’t know why the rest of the world thinks they can fuck with us.
They must be stupid.
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:23 pmIf I’m not mistaken this rocket has a range CPE of something like 3 ft. Not bad for a long-range rocket. Wait till we get a 155mm autoloader on station. I would say to AQ, MMA, and the Taliban, if you think this weapon is something, wait to you experience MRSI in a battlespace near you. Talk about opening up a can of whoop-ass?
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:35 pmI want one.
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:51 pmI’ll take 2 please.
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:45 pmYeah… it’s full on badass. I only hope my husband doesn’t want one.
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:59 pmThe world can fuck with us because the weak willed liberals will run from a fight, Kerry, Kennedy, Reid, Durbin, and the rest will bend over for any terror state.
November 3rd, 2007 at 9:17 amActually Dan, there’s a reason the Corps doesn’t use autoloading 155s besides the maintenance cost. Both the M198 and M777 (using the same tube, M199) are crew loaded and a hell of a lot faster with a compotent crew to fire than a Paladin using the same 199 cannon tube. Sustained rate on paper of four rounds a minute, closer to ten with the Marines of 3/11.
Throw in counterbattery radar that can pick up anything larger than a .40 firing and the enemy is already in deep. The radar guys can relay the information back to battery at such a rate that counterbattery fire is in the air before the badguys shots hit the ground.
Also the FMF guys I still know consider the missle system another shiny new toy for the MEF commander.
