That loader sucks. He’s slow, and not very smooth. He also keeps forgetting to pull the lever up. :lol2:

He definitely needs to do some deadlifts and shoulder work.

And he needs another 30ish pounds of muscle for that job.

All I see is the base cap falling out. What happened to the rest of the casing?

The rest of the case is consumed during firing

Thats why they train. Glad I dont have to clean it

That's nothing compared to loading a 155mm SP howitzer.

He wouldn't have made it as my loader. Maybe he should look into being a clerk typist.

Wonder what it would feel like if you got in the way of the breech?

Probably feel like you got hit by a car!

As a mechanic supporting a Battalion of M1 Abrams we had to keep a floater around. A floater is a tank that maintenance kept around to swap out in case another tank went down and needed maintenance. We had to qualify that tank at gunnery and I was the loader. Yes those rounds are heavy. Good memories.

How heavy would you say? Loader looks like he could use some gym time handling them

I was in the Navy. Where we have real guns.

I am unimpressed.
