I actually meant "clapperboard".

I guessed you may have meant that but I was hoping for a whole new take on stealing this thread into deaper realms with a new spark!

And just as a side note to the 'Sneck Lifter' story where i come from it's pronounced as 'snack' - i.e. "you out lad? Put snack on't door.." Not sure you guy's get the northern dialects of the UK - I'm still learning US regional ones (from the love boat episodes as well as here )

I hate to be a stickler for the rules here, but I think you meant

Das Uebersetzung ist richtig.

Ja, stimmt. Schuldig. Und ich will "Ü" gegen "Ue" benutze.

Viel spaß!

Surely that howitzer has an embedded PC with WIFI.

Whats the diffrence between a howitzer and a mortar? I have mortar fireworks so i think i get the concept of that but i dont know what a howitzer is.

 

[homebrewer_99]

A howitzer is a gun that can shoot from low to high angle (a high trajectory). They are used for shooting over mountains, ergo, an "indirect fire" weapon because you usually never see your target. There's a Forward Observer telling you where your rounds are landing and then relays more info to the Fire Direction Center who recomputes the numbers to allow you to walk your bullets onto the target.

Technically, a mortar is a shorter range howitzer.

A tank on the other hand, is a "direct fire" weapon where you see your target to hit it (first hopefully).

I tried to keep it simple, but I've been drinking.

Almost, but not quite there yet...

I'm picturing HB99 riding a Nuke, just like Slim Pickins in Dr. Strangelove.
