    Well you answered one of my questions about A/C's in the AFV's, perhaps Sentry they should resurrect a 2016 version of the bazooka to push an opening into the walls light and effective the secondary stuff inside a room would be just as good as a grenade if the explosion did not assist them in their ultimate journey. Also you may be able to answer the copper head 155mm round was it designed for A/T or infrastucture pin point no doubt expensive but far cheaper than the life of one of your men in the field. I only ask as I have an inquiring personality TIA.

    That's why he's calling for the 106 to return.

    I actually forgot to cover this on my first response, as far as Artillery stuff goes I am outside of my element. I know the visual difference between a 105mm and a 155mm M777 gun, I remember my call for fire mission/adjustments, and can run a 60mm mortar crew but aside from that, "they" were generally "back there" and we were "up there" as it were. Not a lot of shoulder to shoulder overlap in our daily duties.

    I know a little bit about Tankers because I have a turret OP course for the LAV 3 and spent much of my career as a mech warrior, and little bit about Combat Engineers because we were taught to handle and use C4 by them, but outside those boundaries I have to "stay in my lane" so to speak.
