You must always use caution when choosing what to shoot on #circleshapesmonday.
I know a lot of the peeps who folllow Circle Shapes Monday prefer to shoot Canon. But as an old soldier, I say, give me a howitzer any day...

Nice 155mm ?
ReplyDeleteI think so Alex. It was way chunkier that the 105's I've seen.
ReplyDeleteMax Madrasi - what say you ? Is this a 155 ?
ted kelly The gun dia looks much bigger than 155 mm (6"). I would guess 8" gun.
ReplyDeleteHmm.. I'll have to go back and find out now that you guys have made me curious.
ReplyDeleteted kelly I will be curious to find out !
ReplyDeleteOr - there's always google - lol
ReplyDeleteDING~DING~DING We have a winner !
It's a 203mm M115 Howitzer
Yes Max - it's an 8 incher.
(not too shabby for a navy guy )
ted kelly Wow !
ReplyDeleteted kelly Are you sure it is M115? Had a look at wiki page. The M115 has 2 'stepped' barrel which increases towards the breach.
ReplyDeleteYour tank also has a stepped barrel of sort but it seems to be more like 2 'sleeves' slipped upon the barrel (just before and after the 1st pinkish mark from the breach). And I cannot spot the 'reduced' steps.
8-B
I am now. The Wikipix doesn't do it justice. try this page Max. google.com - m115 howitzer - Google Search
ReplyDeleteTBH the picture I took is of an M-110 which has the M-115 mounted on it.
yup for sure M110 wiki page shows exactly the same pix as yours. :-)
ReplyDeleteted kelly ....ah....now I get it...😀
