That is some nice shooting.  Thanks for posting.

Is it my imagination, or is the left wheel on the gun with the unpainted wheels look like it has something wrong it it or the axel?

You mean the way it wobbles when it recoils?

This video is a good find Oyvind, thanks.

Norm, I looked on YT, and there's no info given on this vid, nothing. What is the purpose of the planks under the wheels and trail plate of the one ordnance rifle? They fired the gun on the planks, and then removed them for another shot.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Yeah,  and the way it is kind of cocked about 10 degrees or so off verticle.

Really great accuracy. If you blow up the image you can see that they are shooting on uneven ground and it is raining. Also, at about 1 minute and 5 seconds you can see the ball in the air just before it hits the barrel. Great vid. Thankyou for posting.

Firing from a platform supposedly improves accuracy.   Your gun can be brought back into the same position for each shot.  For example one wheel may sink into the ground more that the other and that changes the point of impact.
