Not sure about that, but this is definitely spam.

Is that even supposed to be serious?isn't this photoshop?
Theres no real operational reason why artillery needs to be silenced, its near always behind the front line and with modern artillery having between 20-40k metric range the silenced part is going out of the window.

As far as I can gather it's a "schalldaempfer", designed for when training with live ammunition, it dampens the noise so as not to disturb civilian population near the training area and reduces the occurrence of deafness to the crew. Only used in training and not practicable for use in war.

the funny thing is, a shalldaempfer literally translates to silencer. no need to use the german word there

As strima said, its a Schalld?mpfer (or simply suppressor

) on the military testing ground in Meppen.
Its mainly used to not disturb residents and the nature reserve nearby. It also takes mesurements of the shots and noises. Dont know if it is still in use though. What i dont get is why they painted camouflage on it.

Is it just me, or does it just look like a di**?

Only the Germans can design something like this

burghUK · 11-21-2010, 04:18 PM

only the germans could design that and not see the funny side every time they fired it.

Apparently, lead is not good for you if ingested, at any velocity. And whilst I'm here, you're not a PC and Windows 7 wasn't your idea, live with it!!!
