Awesome! I'm in the area... if he gets a chance, there are lots of good low-cost restaurants in the area, in case he wants any suggestions

Which military is this?
user7618
Judging by the way their sleeves are rolled up it looks to be USMC. Could be wrong, though.
I haven't seen the usmc use grey pants before. Unless for some reason the marpat isn't showing up on phone.
PadreofNone
USMC doesnt use 105s.
[deleted]
Edit: never mind, that's a M119 or maybe a British L118.
Looks Like and L118 to me. It sure as hell isnt an M777.

How far does that thing shoot. The momentum on it looks insane (I know it's an explosive shell but it's just surprising)
pyr666
5-10 miles for something that big.
TenguKaiju
Depends on the shell, but max is around 10 miles. The really long range shells are part rocket.
Covidnineteen
155mm can hit about 70 km out. However, it's effectively a 2 staged rocket at this point, with stage one being a shell
TK421isAFK
This still isn't a 155mm gun.
hirosjimma
This looked rocket assisted judging by the glow and smoke trail. So it has longer range like the other guy said.
RedactedByTheCouncil
Base bleed, to reduce air resistance, not a thruster as in a RAP
Treblaine
If you think that's something, check out M142 HIMARS, that fires a rocket with a 300km range and lands within 2m of intended target.
pointsForNothing
Wikipedia states an accident where it missed by 300m and killed civilians.
Almost all misses with precision weapons are where it goes exactly where it's aimed... but it's aimed at the wrong point.
DrDezz
Explain this flat earthier!
Oprean
But that's a rocket, and this is a big gun
300km is fucking far. As single rocket can cover a circular area equal to the total surface area of the UK.
Exactly, rockets can do everything that's why guns are more elegant, you actually need to put in some effort to hit something

At a demo once I saw one fire at max up, then come down, reload, and fire flatter. The shells hit the same target at the same time.
This may be why artillery has such excessive max range, then when within max range you can do techniques like that.
laiskamato
The Finnish-Swedish AMOS can fire multiple simultaneous impact volleys of 16 rounds with its dual auto-loading mortar. Crazy tech.
lordlunge
Pew pew pew
Especially with the fact that it can shoot the Swedish Strix precision-guided munition up to 5 km range and then scoot before the impacts.

M119 h - 17,5 km (10,9 mi), M101 & M102 - 11,27 km (7,0 mi)
Without that *h.
miklethertrac
Can you tell that that is a 105mm? 155mm can shoot out to about 25km
OverMyDadBody
Also depends on the type of combustion material used
Roger, an shoot up to, you can use less bags/powder
No. It looks ‘too gentle’ to me for a 155mm howitzer. But because of the shooting angle, I can't be completely sure. Sorry.

Well you are wrong. It’s a M119, that round is 105mm and by the looks of it, RAP (rocket assisted projectile)
Artillery in what, Call of Duty? That is not a fucking 6" gun, dude. Not even close.
CarrieUnderboob
155mm? I honestly had no idea artillery was so much bigger than a tank (Abrams: 120mm). I thought that looked like a 105mm - a normal one.
The Gustav gun was 80 centimeters. Artillery gets up there
Two different purposes. Arty is bigger for big booms, area denial indirect fire. Armor has had smaller guns for direct fire at point targets
Correct. But that's definitely 155mm and not 105mm? Asking as a vet from 1st Cav that worked with both.
Ah, I see. Knowing this now my answer seems a little condescending. My bad.
