[edit] Accuracy Comparison

When I was in the artillery we seldom if ever corrected "dumb" fire by more than 150 - 200 meters (commonly much less), is there a source for the 400 meter claim in the article? Is US artillery really that poor? Usrnme h8er 05:46, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• I provided a source. Note that the 370meter provided in globalsecurity is perhaps for the "maximum distance" where the artillery is firing I assume. -- Esurnir 04:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need sources for the first operational usage

I just added the date of the first operational usage (may 23rd). I got it from here. I'm sorry I can't find a better source yet :(. If someone could link the original article in the ref, that would be great ! -- Esurnir 03:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Every comment on Randy Meece in the overview is factual. This is not vandalism and I possess emails from Government POCs who complimented his performance in Iraq. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wotring3 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
