Loved mine. Decent autox car. Would not track/HDPE it without some serious engine internal work.

Just to show I got no hate in my heart, though . . .

Sadly, that flame probably has engine guts in it.

Not because Dan retired, I would go out and find out why it happened.

We had one of those, a 155mm. Turns out the firing mech that screws into the nose of the shell was being shipped LOADED to the field. Set off early.

Imagine the poor UPS guy carrying a box of those around in his truck fully armed?

Would prefer higher profile tires to claim working truck status but whatever…

Some digging turned up this. This was a South Korean 155 test gun. It was loaded with a special test round of high explosive. That shell detonated in the breach as soon as the shot was fired. 5 injured, one killed.

They might want to work on their test procedures. I don't think I would want to be within a mile of it unless the bunker was well built.

My experience is that 90% of incidents are caused by human error and/or lack of maintenance.
