Not unlike the firepower demonstrations in the Army.

On the one hand much smaller than an Honest John launched right in front of you and being able to SEE the impact over 5 miles away; BUT up close and personal there's nothing likie hearing and seeing the impact of something that you yourself launched hitting the target.
