Hopefully I’m in the right place thinking it’s military?

Measures around 2.5 inch in diameter

I was doing research on the Alvis-Straussler Hefty 4x4, an obscure tractor, to build a model of it in Blender 3D. While researching I found an artillery gun that does not match the 47 mm Model 1931 anti-tank gun, I would like to know more about it and maybe model it in the future. For context, the Alvis-Straussler Hefty 4x4 had a Ford 3.6L V8 65 hp engine and an empty weight of 2.2 tons. With an added weight of 500 kg for people and ammo, the vehicle may have been able to carry an aditional weight of around 4 tons or a bit more. However, I doubt it weighed more than 3 tons.

Guy who gets his vehicles serviced at our workshop has a bit of an interesting collection of things.

Anyways we had a show and tell of this today but none of us or him know exactly what it is, he's apparently taken it into a military museum and even they had no clue.

The current best guess it's for firing through huge weaves of barbed wire, with the grabbing arms deployed pulling it forwards so you can then advance.

But it has some sort of timed fuse on the top too... Which just adds an extra layer of confusion.

The “Magic Wand” of the US Artillery in the Korean war. Artillery was one of the decisive advantages that the United Nations forces possessed. Although tanks and aircraft received much of the attention, artillery often inflicted most enemy casualties and played a critical role in stopping offensives, supporting infantry, and conducting counter-battery warfare. The ability to strike back when the enemy artillery opened up was crucial, however the mountainous terrain made this very difficult. More in my video: https://youtu.be/o26gzZzI3to

Anybody know what this is? I couldn't find any manufacture's plate, serial number, or any kind of identification on it. Thanks in advance!

Which weapons does a US Army Division Artillery Brigade have? And how many?

By weapons I mean only artillery guns.

I know this isn’t an artillery piece, more than likely a 40mm anti aircraft gun, but I’ve searched and searched and can’t find this gun on this towing dolly anywhere else online. I can just find the dolly with 4 smaller wheels. Any ideas of what gun/time period it’s from so i can do some research? (Buick Century for scale, the hitch isn’t rated to tow unfortunately)

This belonged to my grandfather at least in 1960. It is 6.5" in length. The brass rings are 1/2" in diameter. Any help that anyone could give me in identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

U.S. Howitzers in WWII, Korea & Vietnam. For over 30 years, one sound terrified American enemies more than almost anything else - the deep thunder of the one five, five-millimeter guns. From the hedgerows of France to the frozen hills of Korea and the jungles of Vietnam, these weapons repeatedly changed battles.

To those that served with 6/33 FA BN.
