We tagged along with the Brownells crew to the Texas Hill Country to visit Ox Ranch and Drivetanks.com and fire a WW2 era M2A1 Howitzer! These towed artillery pieces were the workhorse big guns of WW2 and several later conflicts. Capable of firing a variety of different shells for various mission requirements, they are extremely versatile, reliable and effective guns. Stay tuned, much more on the way.

Phil Kelley APERS, Is the Anti-Personnel flechette round, aka beehive. Killers Junior (and Senior) were developed as alternatives to the Beehive. The advantage of Killer Junior over beehive is that the airburst projects fragments in all directions, and is able to hit enemies crawling or lying in defilade, a Beehive round flechettes would simply fly over a low target.

I remember after I got out in 75 and about 78 while in College, visiting and meettnn people in Colorado who were on the avalanche crew/ski rescue teams... We were skiing and they found out what I'd done in the suck and noted they had one of the 105's...and it was an old one and would I be interested in staying out there full time to run the gun... Arrrgghhh, one of those decisions you regret. But, NOOOO, I had to go back to Indiana... NO, I couldn't stay out there in the mountains with a full time job blowing avalanches off the side of mountains and running recovery crews in the summers, NOOO, I had to come back to Indiana.... Oh, well, turned out OK in the end...

Loved those guys. Easy to maintain. I notice the powder charges are different from my day. We had 7 different size charges on a string. Which was in bags. If for example the called for charge four. We’d break off 5,6 & 7. At the end of the mission at that location. We’d burn off the excess charges. I can smell the smoke now! Good stuff right there!

@wesparker7748 4 ай бұрын

The 105 had 5 powder bags that were strung together. Depending on the charge required the excess bags were torn off and discarded to be burned off at a more convenient time. We used them to heat water for washing up and shaving. Also, the range was more like 7 miles. I speak from experience.
