The Sound Of Gunfire

I like the sound of gunfire. I particularly like the Navy 3″ 50 caliber rapid fire gun. I had the honor of sitting next to one during military training exercises aboard my ship The Bainbridge DLG(N)-25.

Here is a modern version of that gun doing rapid fire

Navy training film about the 3″ 50.

The dual mount guns on our ship normally auto-loaded (IIRC) from a magazine below decks.

    Looks like they may have passed up ammo from below-decks, but the only auto-loading took place once some Gunner’s Mates grabbed a round and plonked it in the loading sprocket.

    Captain Ned,

    Not being a GM I was kinda light on the details. I probably knew that when I was aboard ship about 46 years ago.

    Thanks!
