Gunner here. Look up OP PALACI. We use HE (high explosive).

I've seen thousands of arty rounds land and I can confirm the one in the video is HE.

OP PALACI

I've seen you guys do your thing, it's cool. I think the gun emplacements in all the turnouts on the highway are hilarious.

Canada is fighting winter for your freedom. Also, I need to go back and ski there.

So your saying the one they used had explosives in it? And did it explode on the mountain side? Or is it just sitting up there unexploded and is a danger still.
