We always talk about the aesthetics of planes and tanks and even infantry equipment. But we never discuss the aesthetics of artillery.For example I love this goofy looking motherfucker, it's like something out of WH40k
A Fahrpanzer, for when you need to panzer people who are fahr away.
>>65102600Artillery with gun shields are so Kino.
>>65103465what the fuck
>>65103465Finally, a suitably sized iron for my needs
>>65103465Maybe the artillery luger was just a miniature scale model?
>>65103490>no you dunkoff I said it's supposed to shoot 9 CENTIMETER
I saw this strange thing at auction a few years back. Best I can figure is that it was a demonstration model for its lockwork built using two yacht cannons, as it is small enough that its usefulness as a naval weapon would be questionable, though maybe it is for something else.
>>65103546I'm not sure what to call this method of ignition...
>>65103548Two holes one hammer.
>>65103465First autocannon?
>>65103490>Maybe the artillery luger was just a miniature scale model?Well, Krupp did make a 37mm auto-cannon that was basically a giant luger (flipped upside down and modified for long-recoil operation) back in WWI, but as soon as these things started leaving the factory, DWM sued them for patent infringement as DWM owned the rights to Luger's patents.As a result, only about 150 of these things were ever made.Incredibly, there is still some surviving footage of these things being used in WWI.
How about artillery but for the air
>>65103465>BIG BRONZE ON HIS HIIIIIP
>>65103465>tiny gnomes repurpose a lost revolver into a cannon
>>65103580One might even say, Flieger abwher kanone
>>65103465>the gargantuan iron for taking out the outlaw North America Red
>>65103465>>65103489>>65103726>>65103919Nobody is going to mention the fucking HARMONICA CANNON in the foreground? The one that looks like it had a little oopsie with one of the chambers?
>>65103933Ehhhh we've seen those things around. A gigantic looney tunes/anime cannon is more rare.
>>65103946A harmonica handgun/cannon is significantly rarer than a revolver handgun/cannon.
>>65103948Maybe but it looks like any old cannon but with the addition of a perforated block of bronze.The big revolver cannon looks like a big ass revolver than a cannon with a rotary magazine.>thing>thing bigIs always funnier
>>65102600>>65065474
>>65103933I mean yeah that's pretty sweet but I can't make funny references with a harmonica gun. You can't pull the "feelin' lucky, punk?" with a harmonica gun
>>65103548Percussion cap. Kinda weird to use it to fire both barrels like that, tho.
>>65104007Those little wings sticking out from under the nipple might do something. Perhaps there's a way to select a barrel at a time and only need to re-prime between shots
