    Yeah, even if it's a 5.56, it still probably looks huge when your staring it in the face.

    Ben,
    Nice shot of the muzzle of a 12 pound model 1857 Napoleon. If you think that is heavy try moving a 24 pound field howitzer with carriage its just under 4000 pounds. Ill move rifled guns all day long they are light so are the Napoleon's compared to the 24 pounder.

    I love going to Gettysburg. I reside about an hour from the battlefield and have my camper not too far from the National Park. In all the years going to the battlefielf I have never seen every monument or did not learn something new.
    Very nice pics!

    Thanks for clearing that up, I thought that was mountain Howitzer. But then again I believe the barrels are shorter on those.
