[QUOTE="TheGunDoctor, post: 38616, member: 307"] I am sure most of you are already thinking-- "Why the hell are you talking about howitzers!? That's just a weapon for field artillery crews, we couldn't possibly put such a big gun to use." Well guess what? It's entirely possible. Repairing and servicing howitzers is part of my job as a 45B, but it's a major heartache because they do require a lot of manpower to maintain, transport, operate, and even test fire. So, throughout the past year I've been looking forward to the development of a new automated howitzer known as the Archer Artillery System and I must say that I am very impressed with it's current rapid mobility, functionality, all-terrain versatility, and highly simple operational capacity. The Archer Artillery System is basically a wheeled 155mm cannon mounted on an armored vehicle that can be operated by two people while inside the vehicle. You heard me right, this howitzer does NOT require a team of 13 series crew members to set up and employ. Ladies and gentlemen, this mean machine is self loading. Here is a basic clip about the weapon that you should watch: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD9drOkviic&feature=related"]YouTube - Future Weapons ARCHER Artillery System Part 1 of 2[/ame] Even after seeing this video, I'm sure many of you are still quite apprehensive about the idea of using such a weapon in SOF operations due to it's size. However, there are definitely scenarios in which the use of such a vehicle could provide a significant advantage even in unconventional warfare. Think of it as a sniper rifle on steroids and imagine being able to wipe out known hideouts from a safe distance or using it to stir panic and chaos before conducting an organized raid on an large target or complex. With a tactically-sound mission plan, such a vehicle could allow 12 man teams the ability to easily take out several dozen insurgents with a devastatingly swift stroke. I would like to see this weapon adopted by USASOC someday and for the 18Bs to be trained on using it masterfully. Big Target?....Use a bigger gun. :evil: [/QUOTE]
