Personally, I'm more interested in the effectiveness antipersonnel  
ammunition and would be far more intrigued if the audio was recorded from the  psition 
of the target receiving the incoming fire. A demonstration of this  sort would 
as far as is possible simulate the infantry's experience with arty  which is 
a subject about which we all seem to hunger for greater knowledge and  
understanding. 
 
If you can track down a 2-disc DVD set of the Russell Crowe nautical film  
"Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World", there is an interesting  
featurette in the Special Features section dealing with the recording of cannon  
sounds from different locations, done with the participation of an American  
Civil War reenactment artillery unit.  The sound varied greatly depending  upon 
where the microphone was set.
