Re: Your Longest Shot

[quote="jimlongley"

Yeah, waking up long enough to make sure my firing key was locked was boring beyond belief, although being 5"38s, the rest of the people in the mount had plenty to do. :evil2:[/quote]

I can understand that, must have been pretty busy keeping the corks from being mixed up for the barrels..... :evil2: :evil2: :biggrinjester:

Longest shot (apart from that) was with my 1st generation M1 tank shooting sabot rounds at about 1.5 km. I hope this counts!
OP did say military counted so hopefully this counts..... 10,000 yards shooting at a Williamson sled with a MK 42 5' 54"" with a 10 mil offset... using a ANSPG-53F radar to track the sled and a MK47 Mod 8 computer for the fire control solution... this was off the coast of Gitmo when the Navy used the base for refresher training btw was shooting HE-PD-MT rounds... :patriot:
Yeah, but my shots, on page two of the thread, were all under local control with me (the pointer) pulling the trigger while the trainer trained the guns and the mount captain SWAGed the range.
I know our GM's were probably mad because 98% when we did gunnery exercises the FT's in Gun Plot were the ones with the firing key,... first ship i was on was a Adams Class DDG with 5 inchers fore and aft.... NGFS training was always good... especially the John Wayne exercises.....
