Liar Liar Pants on fire!!!
[:D]

so thats what a pea shooter looks like................[:D]

Actually, I believe that it is a russian DSHK 14.5 mm AA gun.
 
or for those of you who use imperial, .60 cal.
 

I thought during WW2 the Dskh was mostly an anti tank weapon?

Actually, I was wrong, the DSHK is a .50 cal (12.7mm).
This is a KPV .60 Cal.

Yes, it was used as a dual role in the early stages of the 2nd world war, as both a AA and a AT unit. (also worked in the anti infantry role as well)

So far we have:

- unknown 25mm AA-gun
- 12,7mm DShK AAMG
- 14,5mm KPV AAMG

Which one is it? Or is it something not mentioned yet?


The debate continues...

Korpy your such a tease!![:D]

I do not believe it is a 12.7, looks way to big. It could be the 14.5 I havent seen many pictures of them or any in real life. But I think it is bigger than that.

Hehehe... [:D]


Ok...



It is 12,7mm DShK MG with AA-tripod! [:)] Originally it was made for AA purposes, but widely used on other areas as well.

Congratulations Riun T! [8D]

My godfather taught me as a proper saskatchewan redneck and said that the .50 is about as thick as an index finger, and eventhou theres a flashdisperser and muzzlebrake I think I can see by this pic that the gunners finger would fit into the bore!,,,, Don't think my finger shoots a 600 and some grain lump over 2800 fps  thou!!
Had enough of these poping at us while peacekeeping in Croatia, Canada uses a .50 m2 H-barrel on a toboggan in winter,and its hallarious to fire it without pinning it down because it will slide u back 3 feet for every 5 round burst![:D]

Rats, I guess I should have gone with my first instinct, which was the DSHK. . .
I guess thats what I get for second guessing myself.

Mind you the KPV and the DSHK are very similar, just diferent bore size.

I found a pic that looks like that, but cannot figure out how to attach it.
(Also the reason that I thought KPV)

Second quessings are the ones I was warned in school [:D] (Although sometimes they are right, too).

Thanks this was the pic that I was thinking of,
KPV in AA Role.

At least I hope it comes through. . . [&:]
