Slapdragon Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 [i suspect you mean http://www.geocities.com/apiotrow/images/3Guns.jpg but Geocities has a flood control that restricts image downloading without the main page.

Michael Emrys Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 The two on the left look like infantry howitzers and the one on the right an AT gun, all of them about 75-76mm. Are they supposed to be Russian? The AT gun looks it, but I don't know about the other two. The one on the extreme left could be a 45-57mm AT gun inspired by the German 37mm but built somewhere else. Puzzling really, and me without my reference books... :confused: Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalin's Organ Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Nah - they're all 76's - Babra's probably right, but I won't be able to check for myself until I get home later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 All three are hamsterwerfers. Capable of firing a saboting hamster to almost 1000 meters per second (well, from the long barrel one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalin's Organ Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 slap, slap, slap...both metaphorically and physically! None of them fired Sabot Hamsters - the Russians didn't have Sabot Hamsters. They had composite-rigid hamsters, and the two on hte left didn't fire that either - they fired hollow hamsters at very low velocities, which enabled the hamsters to wriggle around in flight and so successfully miss the target. A lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Stalin, what is the first thing to come to a hamster's mind when fired from a hamsterwerfer 76? Answer: His ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalin's Organ Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Sigh - no, that's not the fist thing to "come to [its] mind" - it's the last thing that goes through its mind when it hits the target...or anywhere else for that matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 How to make a hamsterwerfer spotting round... Roll a hamster in flour and stick a bottle rocket up its bung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maj. Battaglia Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 I think Babra was 3 for 3. Check out this link, and I think all can be identified: Russian Battlefield - Artillery There is also a world of other useful info on this site, in case you haven't visited.
