SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - How long did it take to reload DC racks and Hedgehogs IRL?

To give you an idea - the hedgehogs weighed 32lb each and had to be reloaded by hand (24 of them). They were pneumatically thrown.

The K-gun DCs were fired by an explosive charge strapped to the DC, and had to be lifted (with a manual lever, I believe) to fit onto the K-gun. The spares were prepared in advance.

I'm very sure there's concrete data on the time involved, since I came across it in the books I read.
