Get some tailor's dummies and recreate the whole thing.

[QUOTE 5250792, member: 9609"]presumably the top short barrel is where the shells come out of, but what is the bottom barrel for ? machine gun or smaller shells ?

also, anyone know where you can buy stuff like this - quite fancy one for the garden

Thats an Irish design from 1937 by Paddy o'brien . The button at the end of the bottom cannon is the fire button . Paddy sadly died demonstrating his design to the war commission .

"Struggling to see any benefit in this...
Obviously it is not a car and has nothing to do with cars. Surely any knowledge/experience that it might bring has already been learnt from supersonic jet development? Do they really need to break a record they already hold?
Of course it's going to be magnificently built but it's a folly at best and at worst just pissing millions of quid up the wall. Why? "
