Obviously like the 106 Recoiless rifle...and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it when it fires..with sh*t coming out of both ends...
Looks good though...got the picture of the ammo trailer it tows???
When you fire it ,the kick stand must be a two legged gizzmo ..one legged one wouldn't be strong enough.
