New Zealand Army Gunner Leo Tanginea, a gunner with 163 Battery, 16th Field Regiment explains the gun sights of the L119 light gun to U.S. Marine Sgt. Robert W. Morgan, an artillery section chief with Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, during training here, June 15. Tanginea, a native of Christchurch, explained how to adjust the lead or move the crosshairs when shooting direct fire missions at moving targets. Morgan, a native of San Diego, said the ability to adjust the crosshairs is a unique benefit of the L119 light gun.
