mrmackc Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 I was a FDC guy back in the 1960s we shot a lot of !55s 105s but my son retired from the US Army and he shot a bunch of these in Iraq, he says if you shoot some of these you won't want to go back to an AR.
98Z5V Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) MLRS - bad news if you're on the wrong end of it. EDT - Just noticed that this was in the Industry section - we should probably move this thread to the General section ... Edited February 9, 2015 by 98Z5V
mrmackc Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Posted February 9, 2015 Sorry about sitting in the wrong pew, thanks for moving it to here
Matt.Cross Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Sorry about sitting in the wrong pew, thanks for moving it to here No sweat, it's what we do... :)
sketch Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Shouldn't that be in the 98 needs this thread! July is coming :)
392heminut Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Does the rule apply? Probably not since it's not available to the general public. But then again, we ARE talking about Tom!
98Z5V Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 No, no, no, no. Hell no, we're not talking about "Tom" here. I didn't bring this up!!! The OP needs to spring for this schit! :rant2:
blue109 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 those things are so damn cool. parked next to a few of them, but never got to see one light off in person. nothing like vaporizing a grid square from a few miles away. one of our training scenarios was defending the MLRS and M109 battery with our tank platoon. tons of fun racing back and forth chasing bad guys that the scouts would call in.
392heminut Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 No, no, no, no. Hell no, we're not talking about "Tom" here. I didn't bring this up!!! The OP needs to spring for this schit! :rant2:Yeah, you're right! Sorry about that brother! It's just that whenever someone posts military grade schit I guess 'Tom' pops into my head!
jtallen83 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 I got to drive a bunch of VIP's to demonstrations when the MLRS's first came on line. The launch was cool but the tour of the target zone was a real eye opener!

jtallen83 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Fubar? YES! I was amazed at how large an area the kill zone was. They had some junk 2 1/2 tons and jeeps scattered around that were peppered with holes. I don't recall what type of warhead they were using but it was some nasty shiiit.
98Z5V Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 One of those things can take out a whole grid square. They're badass. ***Grid square = 1,000 meters by 1,000 meters. An entire square kilometer...***
