Chapters

This is a 42 pound projectile. It's going to be going right around 20,000 or 2,000ft per second, 2500ft per second. So this was actually originally like a secondary armament on like, say, a dreadnought battleship, six inch. Then they decided to make it more of like a, like an anti vehicle use or say, field artillery. So this gun system, the D20, was invented just after World War II, and it's seen wars like the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, and actually they were actually taken out of, like, surplus, and they're now being used in battle in Ukraine. So this still has a little bit of relevance to it. All right, at this time, you're clear to fire. Three, two, one.
What the.
Damn.
