Big Gun Kewlness!

Heh! Killer Junior. From The Armorer: http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/04/on_artillery.html

Never heard of it before. Freakin' KEWL!

The name Killer Junior dates back to Vietnam, and was a mission designed to defend fire bases against ground attack. You use an HE round with a time fuze set to burst approximately 30 feet off the ground at ranges of 200 to 1,000 meters.

Another use was counter-sniper. The sniper fired one 7.62mm solid slug into the firebase, firebase returned 105mm high explosive to the sniper.
