Wow.
I have seen the same gun being fired during regimental competitions.
They are a lot faster and dont jump like fresh poppycocks!

Wow indeed! That gun does just about everything.
I would hate to think about what it costs!
I found the 5000+ round barrel life interesting. I'm wondering of the bore is chrome-lined.

I wonder how the US artillery corps fire their guns?

The firing was a demo -- not how it would be done in the field in combat conditions.

Except for the slow speed and exaggerated jumping, this is how they fire the guns in war too.
Time tested method apparently.
