Field Artillery ping. I began as a 13E for M-109s and M-109A1s; then the Army made me a 13F when that MOS was created just for forward observers, aka FIST personnel.

Any suggestions on a name for this new gun?

I would say “Reason” (Snow Crash reference) but it’s not a gatling or railgun. If it’s as good and as accurate as it promises to be... name it the Sgt. Hathcock.

*Big Noisy II*

Been told that the M65 *Atomic Annie,* AKA *The Atomic Cannon* of the 1950s-'60s was sometimes so called. As well as a lot of unprintable names by its crews who had to wrassle the 240mm thing through the narrow streets of picturesque German burgs and towns, leaving a trail of knocked-down mailboxes, utility poles and extending building corners and walls behind them.
