Guy,

I believe we tried too (with the 10th Group guys) at Thunderbolt Range in Saudi Arabia right before going into Kuwait. We were on the top edge of an escarpment and jacked a 60mm to max elevation with a charge one or zero (I can't remember exactly)... everything was going well it until the round started drifting back at apex due to winds at altitude.... well I didn't think anyone could move as fast as they did, especially Cosmo. Thank God for the escarpment because the round landed at the base which absorbed the shrapnel.... I can't remember what concept about "danger close" we were thinking about resolving with that experiment..... There's another about bunker clearing that can wait....
