U.S. Indiana National Guard soldiers work together to smoothly execute a fire mission using an M777 Howitzer on Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center in central Indiana, Nov. 4, 2010. The Indiana Guard is one of the first states to receive this piece of equipment. The soldiers are assigned to 2nd Battalion, 150th Field Artillery Regiment. U.S. Army photo by Sgt. John Crosby

Anyone else notice that the guy in the jacket, and probably the guy in the foreground, look to be wearing PASGT helmets (aka, K-pots) whilst the others are wearing the newer ACHs?
 
From that angle -and it looks like the photograhper might have used a fish-eye lens as well- I get a strong steampunk vibe from this shot. :)

 
This image looks like some old drawings I've seen
 
I saw this and though "PAINTING".....looks like a nice painting...and a decent photo!
 
That is a weird-looking piece, and too artistically-portrayed to see much about it. Are there drawings of it on the Web, somewhere?
