Russia getting slow-motion with it:
Wow that’s impressive. I can’t even fathom how loud that must be… I bet when most of those go off it’s like a midget drop kicking your chest.
LOL those 152mm shells and projectiles make .50 BMG look like a toy for babies.

I could listen to that brass hit the ground all day!
To quote Jay-z and Kanye on Watch The Throne… “That shit CRAY!”.

I based the design on a JSB Exact Jumbo .177 cal pellet scaled up to 3″ diameter with slight modifications. I had a local machine shop make the mold to my specs, spent a couple hours with a file tweaking alignments and on the lathe polishing the core pin for easy release, then set about our first casting session. Here are some photos. Projectile weight about 7.3 lbs, cast out of 1:40 tin:lead.

As the description says: “When a firefight breaks out and an outpost is under fire the choice between rounds down range or uniforms isn’t a hard choice.”
Is that a Canadian thing? Or has the U.S. military occasionally been known to slay taliban in gym shorts and flip-flops too?
