Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So, little kim has 10,000 artillery pieces dialed in on Seoul

That weapon is incredible

The big boys don't want the NORKS taken out.

They outbreed the famine. They don't survive common illnesses and starvation.

Who knows what Kim will do as it's difficult to predict the actions of the insane.

"35 miles to the DMZ. No artillery made can do that."

Damn, you are right. I just looked it up. I have been saying, on this thread and elsewhere, for years that the North could decimate Seoul with artillery. I have read that in articles and heard it on the radio for years.

But those cannons can't shoot 35 miles. WTF?
Why are these experts on tv talking about the artillery danger to Seoul, when there is none?

Just got off a phone call with my cousin, Retired Senior Officer who was stationed in Korea for a while and my son who was in Korea last fall. Here are some comments regarding the Norks and their abilities...

1. Don't think the Norks will fight like the Iraqis. Much more dedicated to the cause.
2. In the event of an artillery exchange, Seoul will be reduced to ashes.
3. the nork's artillery is most certainly capable of hitting Seoul and that is where the problem lies.
4. By the time we could get rounds on nork positions, they would have been able to devastate Seoul .
5. We know where many tunnels are but we're not sure we know where they all are. Expect literally divisions of nork infantry to infiltrate the DMZ, via tunnels.
There's more but this should give some visibility to what we're talking about.

War is profitable for those in high places. It has become unpopular and there is usually an end to a war. This constant conflict is still very profitable to those same people and the timeline is indefinite. Just keeping those coffers full or we'd be long gone.

The biggest anticipated cost of a North Korean artillery barrage in response to an attack would be the at least partial destruction of Seoul. But the volume of fire that the North can direct against the South Korean capital is limited by some important factors. Of the vast artillery force deployed by the North along the border, only a small portion — Koksan 170-mm self-propelled guns, as well as 240-mm and 300-mm multiple launch rocket systems — are capable of actually reaching Seoul. Broadly speaking, the bulk of Pyongyang's artillery can reach only into the northern border area of South Korea or the northern outskirts of Seoul.

Wouldn't it be much easier to give them our grain, pull out our troops, and let them invade south korea, and maybe japan? Whatever they need as long as they spare us.

Throw in the Kardashian women and Kaitlyn too.

Maybe china would like the Philippines, and russia could have the ukraine too. But we'd be safe right?

I have a coupla' INERT examples of the round / projo that the mossy old M 107 bugger tossed 21 miles with conservative charges.
They look like scaled up 168 gr SMKs, scaled up, bore riders, with a combo delrin and copper driving bands are just slicker than snot.

Will cut right to the chase here with an excerpt, and follow with a link to the M 107's whole banana in closing.



Lemme just opine that it's pretty common knowledge that ole Gerald Bull would work for, and sell his taper bore, duplex charged artillery tech to the highest bidder,...and their politics did not enter into the equation. In a word, the SOB would and could have sold to the Kim dynasty,.....and as well, his formulae and equations were floating around the arms trade world for years after his own particular expiry date.


Those guns deeply dug in on the NORK side CAN hit Seoul,...take that to the BANK.

Knowing where they are is one thing,....being able to take them out with any great ease, QUITE another. As I've mentioned before, attacking that system is commonly discussed in terms of MEGATONS of energy, whether conventional or nuke.

Personally, I'd just give them Alaska. Y'all have all that crime up there what with the raging Eskimos and suchlike and now we've got all these windmills and don't really need the oil. Give Putin Alaska and let Kanye go along with the Kardashians to put on his minstrel shows for Putin. He has that line of clown clothes he went bankrupt on, maybe he can revive that and the Rooskies will go for it.

Last chance to run and hide

Only if he takes Kookafornia,Orygun and Warshington with it as a package deal. Just imagine Big Stick with a RUssian passport.

Thanks Aces and Cross for the links. Lots of great information there.

They could load nukes onto cargo ships, sail them into our ports and explode them.

I suspect every vessel leaving a NK port is monitored and would be sunk if it got within 1,000 miles of our coast.

Except for this 170mm piece. 60 KM max range. It was developed in NK specifically for that purpose. Koksan M-1978 170 mm artillery piece

Yeah but that is 27 miles , they have to go 35. How many of these weapons and how many shots do they get off before they are destroyed?

Counter-battery fire FTW.

Folks seem to think the US and S. Koreans will just sit there while being shelled.
