Some things that go bang

I'm kind of a purist. I love the 155mm firing and real HE detonations, but firing the black powder blanks and the movie low order explosions are lost on me.
 
We can't fire real stuff on Hollywood stars. In real life you can't dodge bullets, shoot down an Pg-7 round with a pistol or pickup 6 155mm with two fingers.

A nice HE shot from an 8 inch projectile always makes me smile.
 
I like how whenever someone posts a U-Tube link like that,I seem to lose 6 to 8 hours. Last time,I looked at the clock and it was 5 in the morning.
