Still being used by Tiawan, along with other WW2 weapons. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obgpd-6-ZSE&feature=related[/URL]. 240mm howitzer. The 240mm was broken down for transport, being towed by high speed tractors such as the M4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WCwv7PEIPA[/media]

Did you see the powder that they loaded in the first video? it was red bag. thats the real deal!!! nice to watch but not so fun to do after about 5000 times. does take me back. i started out in the FA thats why is changed over to the medical corps. the best part of firing a howitzer is feeling the shock wave from the blast. everything else is the worst part. if you have ever cleaned one then you know what im talking about.

PS Monthly 8 Inch
Hi,
Thanks for the video, that's the first time I've seen that combo in action, great stuff.
While perusing the old PS Mags I've found some appropriate literature you might enjoy.

I never realized they weighed that much. That was a neat video.

It's hard to appreciate the size of the 8" projectile in the video. The M106 shell weighs 200lbs and stands about 35" tall. The clip shows 4 guys handling it. They have a raised carrier to get it up to the breach (head height).
5000? I'm beat after moving one across the room.
