Before you ask : it is real.
Before you ask again : yes, it totally warrants a new thread.

Whoever designed it is a sick. fucking. genius.

EDIT: damn I fucked up the title. What the fuck ever. Discuss.

#2

Hahaha holy shit. Also it looks like a penis :3 .

#3

Is there a video of it in action?

#4

I fucking wish there was. Searching for smth atm.
Here’s what I digged up so far.

Rheinmetal are some crazy-ass motherfuckers, what else is there to say.

#5

And I thought I’d seen everything…

#6

Stealthy.

#7

Useful.

#8

Exactly what i thought when i saw it.

#9

It seems like something that large would reduce the noise to baby-passing-gas levels.

Clearly the next step is to double its size.

#10

Actually it is, according to the link ODB gave its for making it less disturbing to the neighboring communities. So while its not good for combat or whatever it still has its uses.

#11

No. I don’t care if it does have a silencer, nothing could make a tank stealthy, let alone a tank connected to that thing. You’d have a better luck trying to convince me the moon is stealthy.

#12

Some people seem to deliberately miss a major point here, which is a giant fucking dildo sitting on a top of a fucking tank gun.
Killjoy morons ruinin’ everything…

But really, maybe you should read on on something like this before posting inane fucking comment in MY thread.

#13

Apparently bubbles come out of it and nothing actually explodes at the receiving side.

#14

a reduction of 8dB is a good improvement at that level but this doesn’t make for a very stealthy tank with 100dB at 250m

nice phallic design though, I’m sure engineers mounting it wouldn’t feel ridiculous at all

#15

ffs

Try living near a proving ground for at least one day. I guess you wouldn’t be very happy about all the rounds going off.
Also, here’s a patent

#16

I actually read through all that already ? How does this go against my point.

#17

Warfare is being prepared to get taken in your neighborhood. So you can sleep well during battles. Yaay.

#18

OHMYGOD ODB IT’S CALLED A SOUND SUPPRESSOR YOU FUCKING IGNORANT DOUCHEBAG!! RAAAAAAAGE!!!

#19

haha what

#20

Looks expensive, I don’t think it’d be a good investment
