If you want to talk about big BOOMS was with 2 8” SP units in Germany. Those were BIG BOOMS. 200 pound shells able to knock out a pill box 14 miles away

M110s in the American inventory.
We got rid of them in favor of MLRS.
I was at the last live fire of 8’ guns in Germany at Graf.
An entire Corps worth of 8” guns lined up, dress right dress, firing a variety of patters for 8 hours.
