I have a question:

Is it possible that americans always get excited about firing any weapon at something? Even when this something is nothing more than plain wasteland, sand and dust?

Asking this because I watched some videos where people fire rocketlaunchers/etc. for target practise/fun/boredom at stuff. I saw one video where a US soldier fired a TOW missile, and all soldiers around were yelling in excitement. In a different video a british soldier fired a Javelin, and the only thing you could hear was a simple "Good shot." from another soldier.

Because us British are more relaxed, and mature about these things. Didn't the American one only go like a quarter of the distance than the British one?

Well, actually it's not that extreme as I said earlier, but still. Difference is there.

Quite possibly.
