Marines Fire 120mm Mortar & M777 Howitzer 

Factory workers work in unison too😂😂😂what’s your point?

@@sjsm6677 pay respect?😂😂😂 I already did through taxes u dumb fuck. The only respect they get from me is a deployment to the Middle East right Now to die for my OIL. Prices are too high.🤝🚬🌑👖

Someone needs to defend South Korea and Israel! One day you'll hear war with Iran has started, and it would have nothing to do with our safety and or freedom.

Thank you for your service did you manage to see a North Vietnamese Soldier in person? and is it true that they are Chinese or Soviet Soldier fighting besides North Vietnam

มีอะไรให้ผมช่วยบอกได้เลยคับ

Lol. In the title of the video it said 120mm mortar AND howitzer.

The difference between mortars and artillery. Is that mortars are high angle of fire. Require far less people than artillery batteries, notice only four people on the mortar. One artillery cannon will have no less than eight per artillery gun. There is a whole crew that does nothing but determine what deflection and range for the large artillery gun crews. There is even a crew of people that do nothing but atmospherics for the artillery gun to get on extreme long distances. The shell flies at a flatter trajectory. I worked on the M-30, 4.2" (107mm) diameter mortar that was the predecessor to this M-120, 120mm mortar. I was a an 11C mortar crewman in the US Army for seven years. The max range of the old four-deuce was 4800 meters. Almost three miles. Artillery goes up to and maybe beyond 25 miles. All at a flatter trajectory than mortar shell shoot. You only need one guy to determine the deflection and range to target with mortar. Usually there are two computation specialists to cross check each other for accuracy of data. Big difference between artillery and mortars.

We had a somewhat similar weapon called the howater with smaller wheels and we had to dig a hole to get elevation the last time I saw one was around 1968.

That's what I thought

Drew Chamberlain YES

That's to many guys to fire that. Cant they simplify better than that. What year is this.

I want a tank

Heck yeah baby. That RED LEG! Ft. will O.K. Marine battery class of November 1985. (1st ever Marine battery graduation at Ft. Sill).

That was disappointing,all that fiddling around and they mimed firing a mortor round! At least the cannon cockers actually put a couple down range.

@Jeff Rogers My MOS was suppose to be artillery. But I was PDQ'd from kidney stones. But yeah I agree, you have to be smart to do artillery. My recruiter said I'd have to take some crazy mathematical tests since we would need to hammer enemy positions accurately as to prevent accidental collateral damage. But yeah that's how many strong empires won wars, was artillery. The Persians rained thousands of arrows on Greek resistance. The Aztecs bombarded enemy empires with atlatl darts, arrows, and slings. The Romans with their ballistas, the Anglo's with their catapults etc.

Are you serious? Who told you al shabaab is defeated? The bombed Kenya last in January 2019. They bombed Somalia in February 2019. They are active and more successful now than ever.

Artillery also is pretty much all weather and does not have a limited “loiter time” like aircraft do. Plus you have a much wider choice of warheads at your almost immediate disposal. Each has their pluses and minuses but both are almost a necessity in combat.

I did not see them putting a primer on the breechblock like we did in the past. Maybe I missed it or they are electrically primed now. Anyone know?

@@geodes6722 primers are in a magazine, can either refill the magazine on the fly during a big method, or just swap mags.

@@christophertrynchy8585 In the past on the 155, 8” and 175mm, the primer was inserted into a hole in the breech after the breech block was closed. The lanyard was then attached and pulled to fire the weapons. The 105mm M101 and the 102 used the semi fixed rounds and the primer was part of the metal case almost like with a conventional pistol or rifle cartridge. Times change!

I understand the choices are pucker up, or shit yourself a little.

Everytime I saw a mortar being fired, it went "boomfff." A soft, muffled boomfff. When I was in army officers training we fired the 81 mm mortar. No it didn't go "booom,fff" it went BANG! that's why you drop the round and keep moving down so your head and body is below the tube mouth to go below the concussion as if fires.

@@ms.annthrope415 My comment was very much tongue in cheek! I have in fact fired old British pattern 3" mortars during a stint as a reservist in the Australian Army in the 60s. They didn't have anything like the power of the 81, but they still made quite a bang. In fact, we had to wear old WW2 vintage helmets (the wide flattish brimmed ones) and we were required to fix the chin straps behind our necks, as we were warned of the possibility of broken necks from the muzzle blast if we ducked too late!

120mm mortar finding its target that target is no more,,,, all you'll see if your lucky is pink mist if it was a human target not a hard target

@3:10 a guy from OpFour is DiddyBopping to those same tactical shitters.

Too slow

Why? It’s been in style for like past 80 years in the US military. Plus these dudes are gun bunnies, they ain’t taking no sniper fire lmao. You must be a POG

Manuel G Chapa Jr well thats kinda the whole point they want the marines to have the shitty barracks because there gonna be the ones in the trenches so to speak while most of the navy guys arent its supposed to build character

@@andrewparisotto2631 I love it when people say that ______ gets to live in shifty conditions to prepare them for ______! The hell it does. The Marine Corps, and it's troops, always gets the shitty end of the stick. The Corps is the step child/sibling to the rest of the branches. It is the smallest so it gets so money. Sometimes the Corps' big sister, the US Navy, has to share her allowance with little brother. However, the Marine Corps has a worldwide presence and one bad ass reputation. Semper Fi

Back in ancient times the military class came home to live like kings.

@@silviocastell8889 when I was in during the 90s, I only made $800 a month (E3) then $1600 a month when I left in 98 as an E5 Sgt. Lucky for the barracks and chow hall.

Shocking.

6 mins of my life i'll never get back

@@brinbargy3325 don’t watch it then. Lol

It’s actually a French mortar. Has since been dropped by the USMC.

Trust. May be little. Far from cute. Those things will leave a battlefield looking like the moon with all the craters it'll cause.

I think he was talking about the jeep looking vehicles

I don't believe troops hear incoming mortar rounds nearly as well as artillery, so I wouldn't laugh

@@gerardojr.hurtado3179 That "jeep" thing is something that only the US Marines use. I have no idea about any military vehicles anymore. I used that big piece o'crap called the Gamma Goat back in my US Army days. It was the infamous M-561 Gamma Goat that was the biggest ever piece o'crap ever. A six wheeled truck that was supposed to float, it didn't. Articulated in the middle. Did I say it was a piece of crap yet?

You explode?

Flechettes when they get too close

@@tonyberuff8981 An acquaintance in Yuma told me the 5th FFA at Pleiku RVN had 175mm howitzers. He told if they had troops in the wire they would depress and load only the powder, no shot. The blast alone would kill at 100m.

Not to mention rolling the gun back to position after firing that’s coming from my Reenactment experience with firing a 3 in Civil War era gun and the enemy virtually in front and on top of you

Time for direct fire when that happens

It's back breaking. Most Marines if they stay in have back problems by age 26.
