My destroyer, USS Hollister, DD-788, had six Mark 12 5"/38 caliber, dual-purpose naval guns. Your video brings to mind the propellant / bursting charges used in each type of shell. Sometimes we were assigned to take samples of older ammunition lots down to the San Clemente weapons range and shoot each shell while recording the performance. PS - Thanks for making the video.
Hi William. I'm glad the video brought back some memories. The best way to test things that age is just to use them and see how well they perform. I think I would like that job :)
