Being in a Direct Fire Field Artillery unit in the 1980's, a few errors were not accurate.
When a gun "shoots out", that gun is placed in a decommissioned mode. All members at the gun at the time exit the gun and the unit stands down until further notice. A cease fire freeze would take place at this point.
Also each FDC has a safety chart so they don't send inaccurate coordinates, azimuth and deflection. This is double checked by FDC.
I know it's just TV but it's so far off I had to laugh. Also nobody would ever be allowed in an active hot zone. Most of these issues happen when the battery is doing Hi Angle fire which requires the gun to lower its muzzle in order to reload.
