Not much on artillery...so I have no clue.
This gun actually gained quite a bit of notoriety during it's time due to is incredible rate of fire. Sort of like the German "88" became infamous during WWII, this gun likewise did the same at it's time.

And the French use of it to deliver gas shells.

I actually do believe y'all know this stuff.
Unless someone gives me a reason to believe they've cheated, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. And for the most part I believe most in this thread have been on the up and up and have taken part in the thread because they genuinely are interested in it. The fact that some feel the need to try and shite on this thread by making bullshite accusations about those taking part in it only shows their own ignorance and pettiness.

Holy hell what is that thing? Looks like one of Da Vinci's drawings.

That's a modern model made from the conceptual drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. He also had drawings of a helicopter and parachute.

It was a DaVinci tank.

That's an AirCo DH4. It was a British bomber during WWI.

It's British, right? Or at least flown by American or Brit pilots due to the name. Is it one of hte DH's?

I recall seeing a picture of it, but never a model. It seems very impractical, though...

Hmmm. I can tell it's a variant of the P-38. That tells me this aircraft was built by Lockheed. The fact I don't recognize it tells me it was never mass produced so I'm going to guess it was only experimental. That's all I've got.
Ok, so no one got my plane: It is a XP-58 Chain Lightning made by Lockheed. It was to be an improvement over the P-38 but never entered service.

Sorry for the small pic. What about this classy one?

Yep, if I remember correctly according to his drawing this "tank" would have been propelled by two teams of men inside it's hull turning two cranks that would turn the wheels. The only problem though that the way he designed the cranks, they would have actually worked against each other. One set of wheel would be trying to go one way while the other set would be trying to go in the opposite direction.

Not only that, but I see very little in the way of vision/firing slits...
