most impressive .... many years ago I saw some fired at Ft Bragg, NC ... the 155 can fire a 100 lb shell with a maximum range of 13.7 mi .... it was said to have an estimated accuracy life of 1,500 rounds

It is just a little odd to see a 155 flying over you.

Being former infantry, I always hoped the artillery guys were smart enough not to put together a "short round". I sure didn't want a 155 dropping in for tea!
