WOW…look at the kick on that baby

I spent 4 years serving the 155 Howitzer (1917 Schneider) and never saw it buck like this. At Schofield they may havae been putting pine apple juice in the recoil tube.

Maybee they lovered thei specialy changed the gas pressure just to show to the soldiers, what vill hapen if thei dont get the recoil system settings right? There is no soldiers around the gun, su looks like that thei fired the piece remotely.
