When I was in the artillery we seldom if ever corrected "dumb" fire by more than 150 - 200 meters (commonly much less), is there a source for the 400 meter claim in the article? Is US artillery really that poor? Usrnme h8er 05:46, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Reference: `In contrast, standard U.S. 155 mm shells have a CEP of 200 to 300 m at moderate ranges.`; i think the article will be highly improve if someone check the artillery chart and give a precise distance (ex; 10 km) with a certain type of gun (ex: triple 7) and correspondant CEP on first round before FOO correction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.210.83.183 (talk) 05:37, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what that source said 3 years ago, but today it says nothing of the sort in regards to the very high CEP number stated in the article. I have thus removed that sentence, as it seems odd and has no source. Pavuvu (talk) 14:37, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just added the date of the first operational usage (may 23rd). I got it from here. I'm sorry I can't find a better source yet :(. If someone could link the original article in the ref, that would be great ! -- Esurnir 03:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Every comment on Randy Meece in the overview is factual. This is not vandalism and I possess emails from Government POCs who complimented his performance in Iraq. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wotring3 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The photo of the first operational use is dubious at best. I think it depicts a GBU-38 500-pound JDAM, not an M982 :) And the link to hood.army.mil doesn't work either. Best regards, K.K. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.232.15.57 (talk) 17:14, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Could that stuff be a solution for the naval fire support requirements of the USMC? --78.49.234.191 (talk) 22:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Netherlands is the second Excalibur lb customer in Europe after Sweden, the U.S. government's development partner for the 155 mm round. Deliveries are expected to begin later this year.
This is in contradiction with Germany listed in the current users list.

As the title says. An international name is preferred. Blockhaj (talk) 17:04, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest that the article be re-organized with the sections (1) Design; (2) Procurement and production; (3) Use in combat. Right now, the use of the weapon in combat appears both in the Description and History sections, which is a bit confused. --K.e.coffman (talk) 02:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
