#1 The two militaries exchanged fire for about an hour.

Does the South have the ability to accurately target the origin of the incoming fire?

If so, why wasn't it taken out? Do they have so many guns that even if they actually were taken out that it will take a long time to get them all?

#2 The North Koreans love to mole everything - most of their emplacements are on the reverse slope and dug in. The guns are rolled out to fire, and rolled back under cover after doing so. It takes a hell of a lot more shells to kill that kind of artillery setup.

#4 It takes a hell of a lot more shells to kill that kind of artillery setup.

Here's a thought, if it isn't being done already.

We have computers that can track the trajectory of the shell back to where it was fired from. Do we keep track of when shells were fired and look for patterns? Just wait until the next time they are supposed to shoot and make sure something is in the air to intercept that point at the right moment.

Here's another one: Maybe parachuted GPS-guided shells that plop down gently at exactly the right location but only blow up when they see something moving nearby.

Maybe rockets that come down on a clear-plastic parachute but when they see something moving in a target area they release the chute and shoot themselves at whatever is moving.

If nothing else, all these things would seriously screw up their ability to lay down heavy fire and give us time to deploy and more freedom to move.

Of course, some of these things might need IFF systems if we were to mix it up on the target area.
