  1. The thing about the "modern" guns…if you lose power…you're FUCKED…the old 5"/.38 guns that I was shooting, if power went out, you could still manually raise and lower hoist, load and fire gun by a foot feed or a battery. Those old guns helped win WW2

  2. What do the us navy do with the spent brass do they just throw them over the side ? On my ship it used to be a scramble to the upperdeck after the gunnery stops to see who could steal the most shells

  3. Wish they still had a battleship active. Love to hear the roar of those 16 inches go boom! This is underwhelming!

  4. This system is wasteful and inefficient. The labor required to load the gun and collect empty shell casings post action should be updated to allow purely mechanical loading, monitored by a crew member. This is another example of the Armed Services in general finding the most difficult and labor intensive way to do anything and everything, while justifying it on the "Holy altar" of being cheap. And that's another thing. I can watch it shoot all week, and see absolutely NOTHING about how good the GUNNERY Really is for this antiquated popgun. At least with the old Bofors, you can SEE if you're bloody well on target! Why not put a rail gun mount in it's place, since the deck penetration has been done already anyway? It's maintaining old weapons and old thinking like that seen in this "weapon system" that will see the US Navy fall farther into a technological gap from which its opposition does not suffer.

  5. Why are we using 5-inch guns when we had 16-inch guns, on the battleship are these things that accurate, if the Tarrant gets hit and knocked out can we fix it and allow it to fire

  6. เอามายิงช้างที่มันทำร้ายคนขนตายคงจะสระใจดีแท้5555เป็นจุนเลย
