pencil sketch with oil pastels

 

I think I liked it better before I added the pastels.

Those squares and that circle are meant to be modern art. :-))

  

I believe this is the UK-made L6 WOMBAT 120mm recoilless rifle anti-tank weapon, as used by the Australian Army in, I think, Korea and Vietnam.

 

As an anti-talk weapon, and a gun rather than a howitzer, it would have been fired with a low angle of trajectory in direct-fire more — that is, the crew could see the target, as opposed to a high-angle trajectory lobbing the round over obstacles to an unseen target.

 

Therefore, you'd simply not see it with the barrel angled up so high.

 

Moreover, the weapon is made recoilless by having the force of the projectile being thrown forward being balanced by the back-blast of hot gases emerging from the bell-shaped orifice at the rear. Angled up like this, the back-blast would thrown up dirt and rocks and debris all over the place, a risk to the crew and other soldiers nearby.
