The barrel is going to make up about a third of total gun weight - so ~395 kg out of the L7's total weight of 1,282 kg. Having a 30 kg bore evacuator support 13 times its own weight is a big ask  :o

Thanks for the info.  :smiley:

I need to think harder then *Banging Head*
Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

I seriously think someone in their marketing department envisioned an alternate history, cause it was a theme


So if Rommel *did* take Cairo after El Alamein and Port Said was open for reinforcements, what would the 1944 drive on Baghdad look like?

If the you thought the Grille 17 was big how about the 30.5 cm schwerer Granatenwerfer & 42 cm schwerer Granatenwerfer super heavy mortars designed by Škoda on the base of the Tiger II.

In 1947 Sweden received a ("Porsche") KingTiger tank, hey quickly broke it in testing & blew it up - only the gun was saved.

What if they sold it to Finland (who also got others) & were used in battle against a Russian cold-war offensive ?  Finish KingTiger vs Russian KingTiger & one Maus ?

Bovington's early ("Porsche") KingTiger is now in Sweden's museum on loan.
