Summer of 69.
Fort Sill Oklahoma.
ROTC Summer Camp.
Anti-Tank Weapons.

My turn to fire the 90 MM recoilless rifle.

My round hit the right front door post of 57 Plymouth.
Doors, hood, and trunk lid went flying.
The whole damn thing bounced about 10 feet in the air.

And your ears rang like hell. The concussion of the 90 MM Recoilless Rifle hurt my head. Glad I only fired it twice.

That was a fun day.... Still have visions of turning the trunions for spotter round.

Boy fun for sure.
