If you could purchase artillery pieces up to and including 155mm

*Also, what would you use it for?

Id get some euro 155/52 for long range, a rapid fire SPG for plinking and probably a US 105mm for small/medium game

>>30420223
yes
>>30420232
putting craters in the swamp

>/k/idiot NDs his howitzer while cleaning it
>puts a hole in every house over a half mile line from his

>>30420354
>rapid fire SPG for plinking
Plinking what? Towns over the horizon?

>>30420223

I would use a 155 mm to get rid of gophers by firing at them over open sights

French 37mm anti tank. Sit in my car port with it and shoot any vehicle that uses my god damn drive way as a turn around. I already put pieces of wood with nails in it and people still try then have the nerve to bitch at me.

>>30420451

Anything up to and including 37mm is actually available to regular citizens as long as you register the gun as a DD.

Above 37mm every round counts as a DD.

I'd get a 155mm and a house on top of a hill. Home defense gun.

>>30420388
>I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED

>>30420451
You sound like a jerk

>>30420223

Why stop at 155mm?

Id love an 8 inch 2S7 or a 240mm 2S4 mortar.

>>30420510
>240mm 2S4 mortar
>Round weighs as much as a small motorcycle

>>30420485
So I could theoretically get ahold of an M61 and use it for things of a [spoiler]pleasurable[/spoiler] nature?

>>30420451

>shoot any vehicle that uses my god damn drive way as a turn around.

Autists like you is why liberals hate us. Sure, I get that its your driveway but you dont need to act like a retard for that, just get a gate or something.

>>30420223

>>30420504
Yes people driving in my grass throwing trash on my property and causing property damages are fine and I'm the jerk for wanting to stop it.

>>30420543
Didn't a guy put one on his hummer?

>>30420559
Just get some large granite rocks and put them along the edge of your lawn. They look a hell of a lot nicer than wood with exposed nails and don't give you tetanus when you step on them.

>>30420543

Yeah I guess if you can find one. Of course you cant fire any explosive rounds and you probably need a shitton of money.

>>30420573
this

>>30420537
>Round weighs as much as a small motorcycle

Size matters is all I can say.

>>30420553
When or if you move out of the basement and get a house of your own you will understand. Yeah I'll just put a gate up and have the township down my ass giving me fines for something that isn't allowed. Oh why don't you just move then? Because things cost money, I can't just yell up to mommy for more chicken tendies

>>30420557

>Ban assault railway artillery now

Don't get me wrong, it's a neat idea I'd just personally pick something I can load without an engine hoist or 5 friends helping me.

>land of the free

Is this a joke?

>>30420573
I had a landscaping company put large rocks in around the border of the yard. Still get people drive up my driveway and turn around in the grass. One person ended up hitting and getting stuck on one and had the nerve to try and sue for the damages to her car

>>30420612
Its still worth it, its not like you would operate a 2S4 alone anyway

>>30420629
kek

>>30420645
>One person ended up hitting and getting stuck on one and had the nerve to try and sue for the damages to her car

This actually happened?

>>30420635
Yeah no joke that was my first attempt, didn't think I would need a permit for a gate. Then a township inspector came by said I needed permits because it's a permanent structure. File for them and get denied because no structure can be put in place that would bar emergency vehicles or personal from entering my property. They made it seem like I wanted a moat and draw bridge, I just wanted a simple metal pole gate.

>>30420652
I'd at the very least have a backup weapon in case my friends change sides. You'd feel pretty silly if your 'friends' were shelling your home with 155mm for a lark and you were unable to respond in kind.

>>30420223
I'd buy whatever could get after them stryker vehicles

>>30420694
>moat and draw bridge

Dig a moat, a hole isn't a structure. If it fills up with rainwater it's not your fault.

>>30420694

Jesus Christ thats retarded, but cant you bypass all this legal bullshit by making it non-permanent, IE a fence with small wheels on the bottom? Im not saying that you need to move it around, just build it in such a way that it can be moved if needed.

But then again, that would probably look retarded.

Isn't there a recoilless shoulder fired howitzer already?

>800mm gustav stopping power
gustav was VERY inaccurate lad.
with a 155 M198 i could drop a round in your lap.

>>30420831
I imagine the shockwave of an 800mm round passing close to you would liquefy your organs before the charge even detonated.

>>30420872
>passing close to you
kek
read up on the accuracy of the mighty gustav
not one ivan killed with it.

>>30420223
German 88mm, best artillery piece in ww2

>>30420223
No, because they're like $500K apiece and weight more than my car.

>>30420947
That was less of an accuracy issue and more that the work required to get it running was comparable to building an apartment block.

>>30420964
Probably b8 but il bite anyway

It wasnt really superior to the US 90mm AA-gun, the Soviet 85mm or the bongs 3.7 inch QF.

The germans was just good at using them for all sorts of stuff.

>>30420783

I was wrong. Its not recoilless, its a frictionally dampened recoil that allows to absorb more force without getting knocked on your ass.

i would live in it.
If SHTF i could load myself into it and fire myself directly innawoods with all my bugout gear

>>30420504
Where the fuck are you living that you have a repeated issue of people throwing trash out of their car while using it to turn around?

>>30420573
Serously, where the fuck do you live that this happens.

Why the fuck would MORE THAN ONE PERSON USE YOUR GRASS TO TURN AROUND.

Lots of people use my driveway to turn around, but they just pull in and then back out.

It's theoretically possible to get one here in the UK on the same licence you get a .22 on
There's just no place to use it

>>30420223
>would you buy one
I might go in with 12-15 other guys on one. A 120mm is more practical and has a higher HE yield though.
>What would you use it for?
Indirect fire support.

>>30421012
>That was less of an accuracy issue
if you cannot hit the target, what the fuck good is it?

>>30420223
I'd simply buy a tank with a smoothbore gun and build all kinds of insane as fuck canister shot.
Practical use? Clearing brush.
Also, a Carl Gustav and 120mm mortar. For dirtwork.

i'd love a PaK 40 and tow it around behind my car.

then again, what does these things weigh? could it be towed behind, say a medium sized estate?

>>30421154

>Gun grabbers come for your guns

That would be so embarrassing.

You are missing a golden opportunity to deploy TANK TRAPS.
>bitch we maginot lines now

>>30421436
They're driving cars. Tank traps only work on tanks, dummy. It's like using an anti tank round on a person, the thing just bounces harmlessly off.

>>30420223
>would you buy one?

No, what would I even use it for? Now a HMG on the other hand I could see myself buying...

Several of my family members have a hog problem on their lands you see.

>>30421491
How are you going to kill the little piggies with an HMG when they're hiding 3 miles into the dense brush? A rolling barrage would be ideal.

>>30421468
kek

I'd get a little French 75 and tow it behind my Volvo.

It's historical, it's light, and it's aesthetic.

You didn't say that. The way you worded it led me to believe that people were just driving on your concrete driveway for 2 seconds and that upset you for some reason

>>30420605

>HURR I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MARK THE EDGE OF MY PROPERTY LIKE FUCKING EVERYONE ELSE THEY SHOULD JUST KNOW WHERE IT IS AND NEVER TOUCH IT MUH GRASS

Stop being a fucking whiney little girl and get a fence/whatever the fuck else to discourage people from doing it, you daft cunt.

>>30421318
wiki says about 3k por the towed version. i think that inclused armor plates aswell though.

165hp and fwd might still not be enough though

>>30421154
There is no real reason to put special controls on railway artillery so long as we can't get any shells.

>>30422224
I can tow a trailer with a car on it with my peugeot and its 90 HP, I just don't go at 130 Km/h it would be silly. French 75mm weights 1.9 metric ton loaded 1.1 "not loaded" whatever it means but it has some big chariot style wheels, not as practical as the Pak 40.
So it's settled, Dacia Duster (cheap romanian 4 wheeler) and a Pak 40.

Can /k/please start a rumor among SJW's about how easily shells for artillery can be "easily" aquired for collecting purposes?

I'd absolutely love to see some bs article bitching about how terribly it is.
