> I read a very plausible list of the artillery that Kim has deployed.

A fellow Freeper made a few points on a NK thread a little while ago. His premise was that many if not most of the NK artillery pieces are old, probably not reliably maintained with ammo that is of similar age as well as being crewed by troops lacking regular experience with live-firing exercises. In addition a comment was made that if the artillery used electronic control systems for targeting, a non-nuclear EMP would render them useless.

I know there are a lot of military Freepers here, both active duty and Veteran, any comments on this angle?

We do have a non nuclear emp generator which could be used on the blast doors which are opened to fire and closed to reload. Whether the artillery is rolled back for reload is also a question. Probably much lower fire rate than expected.

The EMP was discovered. It wasn’t known. It was a product of a mid-altitude bomb test long ago.

Info is available.

I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be the nork cannon cocker pulling that lanyard trying to fire ammo that is as old if not older than me.
