That's like what 45kg... I looked at the royal artillery when I was a bit younger... basicly they wanted young fit guys to lump the heavy stuff and a few young females to make tea and sit inside MLRS cabs....

I’m not an Artilleryman, but my late Dad was, it’s a great video of our lads and lasses, but firing all seems very slow and awkward when you compare it to clips from WW2 barrages, I know they’re probably edited to make it look more exciting, but could someone in the know enlighten me what it’s really like when it’s not a training exercise! Thanks
Oh that’s all right then. Let the experiment continue. Let’s hope our foes agree to a re match when we find out it would have been better to let the men do the fighting. Thanks the lord we didn’t go up mount Kent with a couple of squads of girls.
Two reasons. Accuracy, these guns are now fitted with excellent Automatic Pointing Systems. They know where the gun is and where it is pointing to incredible accuracy. The FDC/CP along with the Forward Observers also have incredibly good locations. So accuracy is key more than rate of fire. However....this is a training exercise after some time off due to the pandemic by the sounds of things. They look like a well trained crew....but we don't get do see them putting out 20 rounds 'fire for effect'...if we did we would likely see just how fast they could go.
@@jaccon6106 I only saw a guy with two shells on his shoulders, I was a Para not a gunner but even 105 shells are a fair weight, I very much doubt if they could maintain a 7 second rate of fire for a long period as they did in the Falklands. Have you served with women in the RA?

The girls don’t have the strength to maintain a high rate of sustained fire. Fact!
Because now a days there not the barrage its more aimed attack

What's the point of these bubbles if they meet with other people anyway?
I think they meant they meet socially distanced with other guns, at least that's the idea I'm sure they don't stick to the rules
