The image of artillery soldiers giving a 105mm howitzer "a drink of water" makes many people feel confused?

| In a recent TV program of Military Region 7, it was reported that the mobile repair team of the Technical Department had just completed repairing weapons and vehicles for artillery units stationed on Phu Quy island district, Binh Thuan province. Photo source: Military Region 7 TV |

| During nearly 2 months, the repair team maintained 2 and repaired nearly 20 artillery pieces of various types (mainly 105mm and 85mm artillery pieces) and more than 1,000 infantry guns. They were then handed over to units stationed in Phu Quy for use. Photo source: Military Region 7 Television |

| It is worth mentioning that one of the images filmed by Military Region 7 television shows something special – artillery soldiers pouring water into the barrel of a 105mm towed howitzer. This makes many people feel confused. In fact, it is one of the steps to prepare for “shooting water bullets” to check the cannon after medium and major repairs or after maintenance 1, maintenance 2 to check the related operations of the breech, the operation of the loader and the recoil of the cannon.

| To fire water bullets, first of all, the cannon must be good. Along with that, the bullets and accompanying details must be prepared. The real bullets have the bullet head removed, replaced with a wooden head shaped like the real bullet head. The propellant in each bullet is kept intact. When preparing to fire, water is poured into the barrel of the cannon. Photo source: Military Region 7 Television |

| This amount of water has been calculated by the artillery manufacturers so that when put into the barrel during firing, the artillery operates as if firing real bullets. When firing, the gunners still operate as if firing real bullets and can fire 2 rounds in rapid succession. When exiting the barrel, the wooden bullet will break, causing no damage; the water will splash like... fireworks. In the photo, water bullets are fired from a 105mm howitzer after repair.

| The advantage of water bullet shooting is that it is not too strict in choosing a shooting range. Water bullet shooting only needs to be done in a narrow space, possibly right on the battlefield. Photo source: Military Region 7 Television |

| Shooting water bullets does not affect safety in the air, ensuring high safety for people and weapons during training. However, when the unit shoots water bullets, it must coordinate well with the local authorities beforehand. Photo source: Military Region 7 Television |

| Shooting water bullets is also to train the gunners' skills. In the photo, the ASU-85 self-propelled gun of Military Region 5 fires water bullets after a period of storage. Photo source: QĐND |
