One wild-looking video shows soldiers firing M777 Howitzers.
An earlier video shows soldiers firing machine guns and mortars as seen through the goggles.
The US Army has put out several videos in recent weeks showing the field of battle through the service s new night-vision goggles, including one showing artillery fire.
The most recent video shows soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery, which is assigned to the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 7th Infantry Division, firing M777 Howitzers at Yakima Training Center in Washington state.
The scenes in the video, which look like something straight out of a video game, were shot through the Army s new Enhanced Night Vision Goggles - Binocular (ENVG-B).
The new goggles have white phosphorus, an enhanced version of night vision. Lt. Blake Gaughan from the 1-17th Infantry said the white tint, versus the traditional green tinted night vision, is better for distinguishing distance and depth perception at night.
