Restored PAK 40
Interesting.
That is one hell of a field piece.
I think they should use sound suppressors when they fire it though.
When i win the lottery boys i'll let you fire my private pak 40

Excellent little video..That is some flash & dust cloud kicked up by that thing!! You just hope you hit your target first time because the tank crew could see a mile off..& then it would be all over!!. thanks for showing Paul... Cheers Terry.

I though maybe they had used a "hot" load in the shell to make it look more dramatic, if you watch the film on the link you'll see there was a hell of a blast from the muzzle!..
Blackpowder maybe? I would imagine there's a chance these guys load their own, and that would be a lot easier, and cheaper to do rather than messing around with Diglycol powder which may be hard to get a hold of these days, and may require a totally different licence. Thinking/guessing aloud here guys so feel free to put me right.
