View Full Version : Anyone know what this is?
I'm assuming it's something for measuring ballistics. Almost looks like it could actually work as a suppressor for a 155mm though.
Clearing barrel/ test fire chamber maybe?

Cannon condom????
"All operator/drivers must clear weapons in barrel before entering/driving/parking DFAC, A&W, Burger KIng, McDonalds or Sonic Burger".
Leave it to the Bundeswehr and their larmschutz issues.

I've seen this pic in another forum embedded in a mock "motivational poster" claiming it was a suppressor, don't think I'm buying it though......
It's a Barrel Condensator. Used to measure the positive F-Forces produced by certain propellants as they circumnavigate. I have no idea what the hell it is.
It's how they make self propelled howitzers.
See, the daddy howitzer sticks his "cannon" in the "hole" of the mommy howitzer, and after a period of time, the mommy howitzer, fires out the baby howitzer.
Ta-Daaaaaaa :D

I'm shocked it took nine posts before this explanation was given. Considering the photo, I figured that would be Post #2. :D

I'm not so sure about that. It looks more like San Francisco's definition of a marriage (daddy on daddy).

Cant look at Richards site on this device but, indeed that is a howitzer suppressor. Expansion chambers to the right and left for the brake and tube up front. This is on a training range in Germany. Those of you that trained there know how they are about quiet time...
Possibly a boresighting device that uses a Tritium radioactive disk in the muzzle brake.

I'm using this as an answer to something my kids ask me in the near future.... :D

Dear Mr Eller
With reference to your mail of 14 February 2008
thank you for your mail regarding the shooting muffler for the PzH M109. We
can give you the information that this system was only a study by a
well-known german company. So we can not provide you a construction plan or
any details about the function. It was tested here at the test center for
weapon and ammunition a few years ago but it was not established in the
Bundeswehr. Meanwhile our prototype was scrapped. Enclosed you will find a
few pictures of the "schalldämpfer".
