I'm going out to the field for a live fire tommorow, and I'll be bringing back some (hopefully) cool photos...just wondering if anyone else has any live fire pics. Or for you FISTers out there, have any pics of the impact area getting rained on?

Well, did you get any good ones?

Images unobserved.
Repeat, over.

Ahh how do I post these??

MLRS Livefire (training rockets)

Man, I bet watching those MLRS fire is pretty sick! What's the impact, with actual explosives, like in comparison to the howitzers?

These are M28 training rockets, no warheads or sub-munitions. Ballast and smokecanisters - it looks impressive because the ground right there is really wet and marshy.
I havn't seen the business end of combat loaded rockets this close, so I can't compare that...

MLRS firing IMHO is best observed at night, otherwise its just whoosh whoosh woosh and lots of smoke. Unless they're using timed ADAMs, manuvering anywhere near thier impact area is deadly.

I'm spoiled of course, my heart will always belong to a battery FFE of M110's either on the firing line or out on the OP.

My launcher layed on target and about to fire




Just cruisin'

This is pretty cool, we made this vid way back in January after my first live fire.
