Ahh yes, the Mk 18.25 multiple barrel doughnut gun (platoon weapon) mass feeding for the use of.
This early wooden pattern room mock up clearly shows the novel feature of the invisible doughnut being loaded by Sgt Horton and the weapon is being operated by Sgt D Dunkin.
The wooden carriage is an economy measure and an early attempt at being eco conscious and responsible with natural resources.
The invisible feature of the doughnut was part of the cold war era special weapons program to weigh the Russians down by spreading tantalising morsels of food across the battlefield with overly pungent aromas but without being seen thereby causing the enemy to dismount and spend a lot of useless time hunting for the food.
Eventual trials led to bad things as the troops conducting the trials ate too many of the doughnuts. There was however a more sane off shoot of this program that led to the development of the Mk19 grenade launcher.
Thats my best shot
