Great video, pretty good time on target effects with the first salvo too, all 4 rounds hit within about 1/4 of a second of each other, perfect really.
That close in shot of the tube artillery piece being used as a target was interesting, if you freeze frame/slow it, you can easily see the incoming round prior to it striking. You can also see the shock waves from the last few shots of the video, seeing the dust lift off the ground in about a 50 yard radius.

A friend and co-worker that was a scout sniper with the Marines at the tip of the spear during the 2003 invasion of Iraq told me that he was behind a wall once when danger close artillery was called in on Iraqi troops and vehicles in the open, and it was the most hellish display he'd ever seen, and he still thought about it daily years after the war - this from a guy who had high double digits to his credit for sniper kills, Sgt Brent Clearman. After all that small arms related combat he saw, it was the friendly artillery display that really stuck with him over the years. Again, artillery is pretty crazy stuff, I've read that it accounts for the lions share of the casualties in every war since WW1, and I believe it.
