Makes absolutely no sense. Firing a gun is the least part of training how to operate it successfully. So many other things have to happen up to the point you pull that lanyard.  ::)

True, but it's still nice to actualy SEE it all work once in a while.

Bottom line is that this is proof that every government has a spending problem.  Just because you think you can and someone can get you a budget line for it doesn't mean that it is a good thing to do.

I'd like to read the entire story, but so far this is nothing more than a gigantic waste of public money.  I wonder if we have this same thing in the States  ???

Not likely that We have this. We have so much area we can put our live fire ranges in the middle of nowhere. European countries aren't like that, they have to make do with shooting across a few fields.

I'm not sure how it is at Ft. Sill, but in Manhattan, KS the range is right next to town and in the middle of well populated ag areas ... not to mention K State is pretty darn close.  Driving down the highway you can look at the hill tops and see the barrels swinging from side to side.  Nothing like laying in bed at night listening to the booming of distant thunder or whatever is in bound  ;)

Working at the power plant near Camp Pendleton in CA, I used to get some comfort listening to the Marines shooting whatever they could out in the mountains.  Don't know if it's arty, tank fire or mortar rounds but it sounded cool anyway!

Ft. Sill Arty Detachment is in OK, right?

Good thing it doesn't screw on.
