A few years ago, I did some work at a military proof range in my state.


The 76mm Saladin turret had just been declared obsolete and the ammo was to
be destroyed.



The option of making piles of the stuff and blowing them up, was too risky.
So for the next 3 days, every 12 seconds, they'd fire off a round.



As much fun as that sounds, it's gotta get old after 3 days .....



Boom
