Talk:M102 howitzer

Vandalism?
The article has the following specification.
 * Weight: 1.6 tons (4.7 t)

US Army source site Army.mil fact file gives a weight of 3004 lbs which is US 1.5 short tons (1.4 t) metric. Guess that we all have to take a look at details on Wiki articles to see if they make any sense. --TGC55 (talk) 21:32, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Under Slung?
I've never heard this term used in general for military transportation.

I suspect that the term should be 'sling loaded,' most likely with a Westland Wessex class helo.

I'll try to find more specific information, unless someone has it to hand already.
