Like the one for this pic, f'rinstance - of an MLRS launcher in Korea... which was possibly "ripple-firing" (i.e., multiple launches) during this exercise.

M270 A-1 launchers fired ripper rockets at pre-determined impact zones during a bi-annual live fire excercise by troops from 1st Battalion, 38th Field Artillery Regiment recently.

Despite CAPT H's (and other's) protestations to the contrary, we never fire them at *random* impact zones...

Another possible reason for the affinity between soldiers, children, and dogs: Children and Dogs are too dumb to recognize murderes when they see them. [As may be, but they at least will leave their comments on the proper post, unlike you, sir. Just because I leave the comments open doesn't make tripe like this appropriate. Go bother other people, if this is the best, most incisive thing you have to offer. Especially if you hide behind a bogus email address. If you won't fully own your words, well, that says more about you, than anything else. -the Armorer]

"Hey sir, It's a RRPR" I do like how he says "sir". As I get almost onto my 50's it bothers me less.

*pulling 120% torque to evade to a safe distance* *establishing OGE hover at safest spot -- center of the pre-determined ripper rocket impact area*

I was actually more digging at the pre-designated bit, not that it matters. I just painted a big target on my substantial butt, and am now providing aerobic exercise to readers as they avail themselves of the opportunity...

Then what do you fire them at? Designated targets would be preferred, but any improvement is appreciated. Cheers

And the auld cannoneer is schooled by the young. You know us old cannon-cockers. We're functionally deaf and you usually have to repeat yourself to get the point across. I will add RRPR to my vocabulary!

Hey sir, It's a RRPR, phonetically SAID "ripper" by rocket jockeys. Reduced Range Practice Rocket also known by the nomenclature M-28.
