It's for clearing buildings and trenches, anywhere the tank commander might want to shoot around corners while staying in the safety of cover

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I always think the funniest thing about those guns is how everyone was surprised that they mostly work.
Yes, but IIRC only for a limited amount of rounds, after which the whole gun is rendered junk
afaik, it's still around something like 150 rounds, and just the barrel (and bullets) that get destroyed. Like every other shot comes out more as a tiny shotgun shot than a bullet.
I'm surprised that nobody came up with a gizmo for holding a regular rifle around a corner while keeping the human body behind it.
"Corner Shot" wildly overcomplicated it, but basically it's a fake rifle at the back and a real pistol at the front, connected by a hinge.
Yup. And for something intended for field use only (no target practice), that's totally fine. If you're so up close and personal that you're needing to shoot around corners and don't need great precision, it's not like it'll need to last much longer anyway, just grab a new one for each op.
yuo see, it's asymmetric warfare
alternatively
if we don't know where we'll be shooting at, then neither will enemy
i've seen one russian tank ramming its barrel into a tree head on. this probably doesn't matter because it'd be destroyed by now anyway
Hangs a little to the right. Huh.
You've got to switch hit or it ends up like that
For all your horizontal defilade fire needs.
It's no problem, all you need is a good hefty straighten-outer shot to straighten out the barrel.
That's what happens when the vehicle commander forgets to make sure the barrel clears an obstacle the vehicle is about to drive past.
That barrel has gone to plaid.
It's to curve the shell round corners during urban warfare. Everyone knows that.
Our dog only twitches his nose to the left.
I've never seen one before, no one has, but I'm guessing it's a white hole
