That's "ranger with the big iron on his hip".
WHY? Because he had no other challenges in his sights!
Why? More to the point would be WHY the heck not?
True hand cannon
He, he, he that's not a gun

The legendary Schwerer Gustav! I didn't even know railway guns were a thing until I found out about it. I was going to post that next. Damn. Good one.
Sorry I messed up your plans. I was briefly stationed TDY at Aberdeen Proving grounds MD. in 73 while there I visited the ordnance Museum they have the German Krup K5 Railway gun there not as huge as the Schwerer Gustav but an impressive gun none the less. If anyone is ever in that area they owe it to themselves to make time for a day long or more visitQuote:

That is some shell.
With the sign behind it, I was looking for a 68 mustang.
...or at least a motorcycle.
After seeing the gun yesterday I imagined the shell would be longerQuote:

Paul Bunion's derringer
I think it is a "sure way to break your wrist" gadget.
He should have learnt from Danny Glover's cliche "getting too old for this s...", but then again "if you gotit: flaunt it".
He enjoyed the recoil demolition of camera to boot.
Not a mystery, it’s a black powder blunder bust pistol.
Also called a hand cannon
Thanks, I've never seen a pic of one that fat & ugly......er...I mean with such a big looking bore. Pretty darn nasty at close range for opponent & user, it would seam LOLQuote:

Still more accurate than my AK. :D
Or this one. Epic big bore, and a cannon [though proportioned like a coast mortar]

I'm disappointed to not find the whole clip, including the projectile squeaking after firing until exiting muzzle.
I bet the lot was funny. These days the technos would probably have shown score marks from the bore. Always happy to laugh....even at meself.Quote:

more interested in the gun you see in the RH background of @43-44s of the video - looks like the recoil arm of a towed artillery piece.
