This is what goes on inside an American 155mm M109A6 Paladin self propelled Howitzer.

I could have never imagined that it is shot in a 'Pirates of the Carribean' kinda way; by pulling a damn rope :-D With a manual fuse insertion too? How that is still possible in a time where we are thinking to invade Mars???

And what about that smoke? The gunner can't see for shit what goes on on his screen! It wouldn't take more than an air-compressor and a short puff into the barrel when it opens, to prevend this, no?

Up next: the Russian equivalent: 2s1 gvozdika 122mm.

Take your pick! :-)
