"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Quite a kick!
When I first saw Mae of the C&Rsenal YouTube channel fire this wall gun, I could have sworn that it had dislocated her shoulder, but obviously not.
Have you seen their "It's A Trap!" series? It's informal, unscripted, showing off old hand traps - clay pigeon throwers. And it is surprisingly amusing and relaxing.
Doing some research on the wall gun, they apparently were generally mounted on something very solid, to avoid the recoil dangers, although there are a few illustrations showing wall guns on a simple bipod support.

ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't seen that, but thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteIt helped her that the gun was sitting on the sawhorse, but not a lot.
ReplyDeleteWowsers!
So named because it could knock down a wall?
ReplyDeleteGregory: It probably could knock down a wall, but it's called a wall gun because it was typically mounted on the wall of a fort.
ReplyDeleteA real shoulder bruiser.
