Since Rich Willbanks yelled this at Steve Henderson, I hollered this in 
response:
 SH> The Marines have -never- used the TOW as artillery. 
 SH> Artillery is, by definition, an indirect fire weapon.  The
 SH> TOW is line-of-sight only. 
 RW> Then what is a 155mm howitzer when it is used as a line
 RW> of sight antipersonnel weapon?  I have heard many a
 RW> stories of such things in Korea, Army and Marine guns.
From what I remember of it (it was already "obsolete" when I went in), the
barrel will not depress far enough to even hit the -horizon-.
... Oxymoron:  A Little Ironic.
