[quote=pri_dk]I was a Combat Engineer during Gulf I. We trained on them, but never got to fire one.
The AC-130s are unreal as well. The notion of a 105mm howitzer on an airplane is just nuts.

Pri: Combat Engineers? We loved you guys when I was in Rangers! Next to the freaks in EOD, you guys were a blast (pun intended) when it came to improvisation.
I’m a huge fan of Spooky and largely because he has gotten my ass out of a jam on more than one occasion. I don’t know if they still have beehive and flechette rounds in the ordnance mix on Spooky, but they used to and the effects of those rounds is unbelievable.
I used to bust up laughing when General Electric used to have those “We bring good things to life” TV commercials. Uh, yeah.
