I'll give it to OP, I can't find the answer anywhere, either.
Wikipedia states that the m777 shoots at 827 m/s. Using this ballistic calculator, Here, and using 45 degrees angle and a 0 ft height, you get a flight time of 119.23 seconds, whick seems awfully long and not correct in the least. |

I've always been curious. Thanks for any replies.

Yea, I get that there are several factors that come into play. In case anyone is a complete imbecile, what I mean by "hang time" is the amount of time between the round leaving the muzzle and (hopefully) a snackbar being exploded. You went to the trouble of looking up what he ask three years ago????? |

This thread needs more 11th Marines Regimental fire mission.
Date is wrong, it was 2003. Every tube in the regiment firing on an Iraqi unit. 11th MAR - Regimental Fire Mission |

Depends on range. Direct fire a few seconds, out to 35km with a 155m a minute or so depending on meteorological conditions. 105s are similar, but max range with HERA/RAP is closer to 25km. With the M777EX cannons with a range of 70KM im hearing up to a couple minutes sometimes longer of hang time.

Ive stood at the edge of the impact area on ft stewart. You can hear them coming in and catch a glimps if the sun is just right. Fast fuckin movers

Quoted: My brother was a 777 operator in Afghanistan for a couple of years. He said he had no idea since they usually fired them over mountains. He didn't care enough to count. But he said when they had to blast goat fuckers off the near mountains, it would usually take about four to five seconds to impact. View Quote If only they had access to something that told them exactly what the hang time was so he didn't have to count. |

A 105mm round coming out of a gunship has a really short hang time. Really short. Does that help?

Quoted: Damn. Didn’t know houses were built that close to a range. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: From my house I have seen them take around 30 seconds from the report of the howitzer to impact on the range. Damn. Didn’t know houses were built that close to a range. Well there isn't a lot to obstruct the view. You can hear the thump from inside, it sounds just like freedom, so sometimes I go out and watch. I see the smoke from the gun and count the seconds until I see the explosion. Then I count the seconds until I hear the report of the detonation and I can tell roughly how far away the impact point is from the house. It's great sport. |

I always liked the Artty demo where one gun would fire a high angle round at a target, lower the barrel (wait, wait wait) fire a direct fire round at the same target and both rounds impacted simultaneously.

Depends where your target is, type of projo, and if the fire mission is high angle or low angle. You want max hang time? Short answer: over a minute.

View Quote True, on an artillery tube the FDC calculates that. However, if your sole focus in the military is as narrow as simply being on a gun crew, it isn't much to ask that you also know the capabilities and characteristics of your weapon system. Knowing the minimum/maximum time of flight potentials from shot to splash is kind of important even at the gun crew level as its how much time you have to prep before corrections come back, especially if you are looking to displace. |
