The company I was in went to Grafenwoehr for some Range Qual, this is where I got to qualify with the M2, and on the way to our station drove past a battery firing 203mm Howitzers. It was impressive, looked like a cinder block flying through the air, but that was just an 8" shell. Hard to imagine something double that size, and seeing the damage it did when it hit.
