More Boom-Boom

The GIAT Caesar is a serious gun. It has a shoot & scoot capability that is faster than any towed howitzer AND it has a 52 caliber length tube. That long tube gives it potentially 40km range with the right propellants. The M777 is a 39 caliber length tube which has considerably shorter range. The Caesar also carries a decent load of ammo.

Honestly I'm impressed that it works so well even now. Actually found it was famous for it's reliability.

Quote:
The weapon had a reputation for great solidity and reliability. Ian V. Hogg, in Weapons & War Machines, describes an action that took place in August 1916, during which the British 100th Company of the Machine Gun Corps fired their ten Vickers guns to deliver sustained fire for twelve hours.

Using 100 barrels, they fired a million rounds without breakdowns. "It was this absolute foolproof reliability which endeared the Vickers to every British soldier who ever fired one. It never broke down; it just kept on firing and came back for more."

Just out of curiosity, are these .50 BMG or are they some other caliber?

CAG or whatever it is called these days will be on the ground with him. Guess the Russians will cry out active American presence.

If I'm not mistaken, they're the same thing. I think Maxim was the designer and therefore name for the design that basically every industrialized nation licensed and built for themselves. So the British Vickers is a Maxim but the Germans, French, Americans, and so on also had a variant of the Maxim.

2nd industrial revolution produced some of the all time best machine guns. This old dinosaur is still in use by 2nd rate militaries all over the world.

With them ramping up this kind of rhetoric, I'm expecting something really bad any day now.

The sad thing is that half the world believes this crap. At a certain point I guess you just have to stop worrying about it and do what's right, if it comes to that. Really hoping Russia acts prudently but I've seen nothing thus far to make me believe they won't continue to escalate in an effort to secure allied abandonment of Ukraine and Ukrainian surrender.

"Only enough troops"? By Russian standards? Considering they have vastly underestimated the competency of their forces thus far, my money is on the Ukes making a break out from there.

From that thread. Putin with the same posture that we saw when he was talking with Shoigu. This was back in 2020, supposedly. What the heck, Putin?
