G'morning Vern, 

 VH> They were equipped with little, dainty Italian 105s
 VH> that you could use for watch fobs.  For a demonstration, they took one
 VH> of them apart, floated the pieces by rubber boat across Medicine Bluff
 VH> Creek, climbed Medicine Bluff 4, assembled it on top and fired one
 VH> round.

Sounds like the self-same 105's that the NZ Artillery replaced 
their 25 pounders with after Korea ... and played the same games 
with.  There was a 161 Battery here who specialized in getting 
into outlandish locations rapidly to provide very accurate 
support.

 VH> It takes about a thousand repetitions to fill the cylinder.

But it was done... ! :-)))

 VH> Yeah, there is no shortage of fanatics willing to die for a crazy
 VH> cause.

Someone must come up with a safe-ish way of triggering kami-kazi 
zealots off before they get into critical areas ... I see one was 
stopped successfully and partially de-bombed the other day - at 
the cost of losing a security section in a self-detonation.

A walk-thru blast box that delivers a seriously massive EM pulse 
or two strikes me as a likely start...

:-(
