Yeah, all of our ears were ringing in a bad way, bloody noses too! Like I said, I thought a Javalin detonated in the trench, I ran around to find everyone in the squad. It wasn't until the M1 pulled forward to fire another round that we realized what happened. We flagged the TC down before they fired again!
No chit! Damn man. Luckily you was not any closer. We put 2 1/2 ton ring and mounted one of our 50s in the back of our 4 seater, one mission gunner was shooting, barrel 3-4" over my head as I rode right rear on a SAW mounted on home made swivel I couldn't hear for two days and that was just a damn 50. Damn things will screw your guts up too.
