This is a nice drawing.  I never knew the names of these parts

Hitting the target is a matter of training, hitting the impact area is a matter of safety.

Heck, I didn’t know all these parts HAD names, much less what some of them were!
BTW, I love your avatar. I served with the 8th FA as a ROTC cadet at advanced camp and later supported them in the field (we were in a different brigade but shared two live fire exercises with them at Yakima). Not only that, my Grandfather served with them in WW1. “Automatic, Hooah!”  ;D
