Is this the German 88??
This is a US 155mm howitzer nick named the Long Tom.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of rifle this is. It was about 4-5 foot long and they used a .50 round to shoot with it.
This is a Mauser anti-tank rifle. It is 13.2 mm and therefore bigger than a .50 cal round (which is 12.7.)
Its design is from WWI and must have given the individual firing quite a thump.
