A lot of off topic here.... ::)

@Burro: Well. At the moment i cant find any data about this weapon but i'm quiet sure that this was an experimental anti tank weapon - first field testing during the Stalingrad-battles (thought it was the only combat of this weapon).
When u have an account on axishistory-forum u should post this pic at this board. I think they will help u very fast ^^

Yeah, well, when the gun fires fruit, it's kind of hard to not make jokes about it. ;D

But if anybody could find some reliable info on this weapon, i would be very interested in it. ;D

Vickers 1.75-inch 'toffee apple'
« Reply #56 on: July 01, 2011, 06:31:30 PM »
it reminds me of a weapon in Steel Panthers. I think it was called Bomb-Thrower or something like that it was on the mortar list but didnt have range like a mortar and was more a close range weapon. It is kind of like a larger caliber grenade launcer is the best way I could describe it.  Also from the video they aren't shooting at a tank they clear out some buidling then a bunch of guys are running through it. Im pretty sure its a ww1 weapon and not something experimental . A round bomb type weapon wouldnt be my choice for AT and if it was then the designer probably ended up making roads to nowhere in Siberia.

After some research I think it is a Vickers 1.75-inch 'toffee apple' all the apple jokes might have been accurate. I thought it looked like a trench mortar or something like that. Maybe someone else wants to look into it and comfirm or deny my theory
