I dunno, it never made sense ot me, even though I saw it in action once or twice.
There was a guy doing the number 1 posiition on the howitzer on the M119, #1 man is inside the trails with the barrel flying by in front of him during recoil, and he made at least four foot vertical in his leap to get out from inside the trails.
We had our camo net up, and his helmet pretty much brushed it at the top of his leap arc.
I was keeping track of the record of fire, an dhad just told FDC "Gun 1 shot" followed by "Holy ****!" as this guy raced past in front of me.
He got stuck doing admin work after that.

I won't say I wouldn't jump myself. BUT, I'd have an ear to ear grin while doing so!
