Yep 7lb shell and 17lb of Plastic explosive, considering I can load 8 a minute which is two faster than needed, but my job is section rifleman a mix between Forward observer and sniper but I am on the gun crew that holds the record for most shells fired in 1 min, 12 rounds before you ask but in combat I wouldn't like to fire that fast just too inaccurate and my end up hurting a friend,

I am the one in the back, used I was used as part of a recruitment campaign by the MOD This pic is about 3 years old. And before any one asks the gun is the IL119 field gun and the bore in 105mm DON'T ask more questions because I won't answer them cuz I don't want to break the law.
