Speaking strictly from ignorance on my part, doesn't it seem ironic that the power of this incredible weapon, the latest result of 300 years of research into the art of land gunnery, is unleashed by a piece of string?
Yeah, but that piece of string has a milspec description 152 pages long and cost the taxpayer $500.00.
I wondered about that myself. I guess if someone nukes the electronics, it can still be fired.
