This, my friends, has to be the sexiest piece of artillery I have ever seen in my life:







This thing looks ready to unleash two barrels of hell.

The only downside I see is that its huge! It looks like it would be a pain to transport it.

Hey, which company made this? {wikipediacheck}.. nope, nothing. Can you check your source as to what company made this? Also, I'd love to know it's movement speed, size/weight and some other stuff :blush: . Like what missiles it uses, exactly. I've seen some fancy Russian.. err.. rocket-launcher-vehicles that seem far more dangerous then this thing, though less defended. Plus, this looks slow.

Jeez, this is what we face if we're being invaded? Yep, I'm going to do about everything to get away from any military duty, resistance is futile anyway (duh, our strategy is to hold till USA can come and help us, patethic...).

I think this answers pretty much everything:

No one would want to invade the US anyway :P we're all too crazy, they'd be getting shot with a shotgun around every corner :P

Did it ever occur to you that maybe he doesn't live in the USA? :P

Ah, thanks. 50 km, at a shot every four seconds? Awesome :D . And produced by the major ones, too. I hope they come out with a video of this baby in action.

.. Yeah.. if you read his post, its pretty obvious he's not in the USA. And, honestly, if a few of these things supported by anti-air vehicles station themselves outside wherever you think shotguns will be effective, BUHBYE.

Yes, but unless they are going to sit in the vehicle everywhere they go, they'll continually get picked off.

wtf is this thing for real? it looks like it fails at going downhill.

Y HALO THAR

Now, why WOULDN'T they stay in the vehicle everywhere they go?



None.

Jun 16 2008, 9:45 pm Falkoner Post #12



If it's going downhill the gun can rotate up. Because who wants to sit in a vehicle for days on end? And how would they get food?

There'd be food in it? And they wouldn't get out if there were people shooting at them...

Falk, stop being stupid. When a group of army soldiers walks up to your house looking for food, you HIDE. You don't take out a shotgun, shout 'YEE-HAW', and start blasting.

I've been sitting at school, drooling a bit over this one though :D
I somehow end up searching for stuff like this in both history and science classes, as both can relate to this, somehow...

I live in Norway btw

I'm sure the US has stuff that's just as badass as that.

No matter how powerful of an artillery unit the USA has, it will never be as cool as a howitzer with dual barrels. :P

I wouldn't be worried if it was an American howitzer.. But I don't think I want Russia with something like THAT! :omfg:

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
