More like, "curses caught actually being out in the rain when I had faked a fear of damp so well!' The mythical Loch Ness Wienie makes its first pictoral appearance.

The article should be about the Excalibur round and its interesting targeting mechanism - I have no idea why they've given it a Marine spin when the record they broke is an internal one; that the accuracy relies on technology rather than manual aim even only makes it less impressive for the operator.

Guns.com wants more hits, and Raytheon wants to sell more shells (by the seashore).

The gun was capable of hurling a 94 kilogram (210 lb) shell to a range of 130 kilometers (81 mi) and a maximum altitude of 40 kilometers (25 miles, 131,000 ft)

And it was from WW1!

Tomahawks can carry a 1,000 lb warhead roughly 1,500 miles.

Then there's the BrahMos.
