The effects of a 105mm round. It set fire to the rear tire. The vehicle had be drained of all of its fluids before being placed on the range.
I was kind of shocked by this whole sequence of old vs new, Parrot rifle Vs LG1. I expected the Modern to walk rings around the old.
The station wagon was about 1300 yards away. Direct fire range. It took 4 rounds for the LG1 to hit the car. Well it didn't hit the car. With its explosive shells it hit next to the car and destroyed it. Good enough for thin skinned vehicles and exposed troops. But if armored vehicles get in direct fire range the LG1 crew is in trouble. The lack of pinpoint accuracy was clear by the misses on the 4' x 8' target at 1000 yards by the LG1. The Parrot got 4 out of 5 on target.
If the LG1 can't hit a 4' x 8' target at 1000 yard what heck can it hit at 21,000 yards its max range. It appears to me from looking at the video that the LG 1 had a 5 shot group of about 30 feet, with a 50 meter bursting radius. The computes to about 630 feet at 21,000 yards
Alright you former Cannon cockers explain it to me! Why is this good?
