Thats a cool picture! Thanks for the explanation. I'll bet humping those guys would wear a guy out!
I have a hunting buddy that was assigned to an artillery battery in Vietnam. I'm not sure if they were 105's or 155's. He has a crippled up hand and arm from the experience. He was a big husky boy and was chosen as the one to pick up the shell and slide them into the breech. In the heat of the moment someone slammed the breech closed on his hand. He has limited use of it but you can tell that it was pretty mangled up.
