M110a2 8" SP, introduced in 1963, phased out shortly after the Gulf War (I)...... with zone 9 powder charge (88 lbs!) the report was ...... impressive. The most accurate piece in the US inventory, capable of Delta Hotels on 8' (eight foot!) diameter pylons at 25,000+ meters .......
I also crewed M109a3/a4's ..... faster to emplace, and armored (sorta) ..... more manuever friendly than the M110a2, with a 6,400 mil field of fire ...... but could not hold a candle to the 8" in the Gunnery dept. ..... kind of like a minor caliber trade musket compared to a .58 civil war sniper rifle......
Dan W:
