as we speak, I've got an old Omega shell on it's way to our firing range for some (ahem) test work.

not allowed to say what it is, nor to take pictures, but suffice it to say, I'm not expecting it back - well, not in one piece anyway.

actually, a few weeks back, we managed to demolish a portakabin when testing 155 shells, and that was behind the gun. It seems the cabin didn't like the shock-wave

I can understand that.  Set up an MTF in 4R only to have 3 AS90s set up 400m behind me and start firing 155 over my head.

We moved  ;D

some VERY interesting stuff happening just now in AS-90 land.

we now have electronic circuits which will survive insde a shell at launch. all these shells now know where they are......!

if you want to kill a serious amount of trees just ask any tv cable company. At least they were once very adept at it. Roots?What roots?

Easy....
1. Buy/steal/borrow/hire chainsaw
2. cut tree into peices
3. place tree peices against nearest speed camera
4. add petrol to taste (at this point I like to add a tyre or two for extra flavor)
5. ignite.

6. search web for homemade explosives to remove tree-stump
7. film results & place on youtube

Result... dead tree, dead speed camera & loads of Kudos
