[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 2539357, member: 4333"] I've never heard of that happening with a 105. It was well known to happen with 175s shooting at Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany because the 175 is a low-trajectory gun and the ground at Graf has been a training area back to the Kaiser's day, making the ground very hard. There were stories about rounds going well off the impact zone and landing on main post. The article doesn't say why the projectile didn't explode but I'm guessing it was designed as a practice, non-explosive round? [/QUOTE]
