This shit is terrifying both on the operator side and the “receiving” side
homemade pirate cannon
That’s homemade? Must be one hell of cool home
More likely assembled in some auto workshop from looted historic artifacts
This is built from scratch. There is no reason to use an antique cannon barrel for this - and it’s not like those are lying around in Syria, whereas material and equipment to manufacture this is far easier to come by.
I believe this is one of the famous Omar cannons:

Easily one of the most sophisticated Syrian hell cannons. It’s breach-loading, it has a recoil damper and it’s mounted on a strong enough truck chassis. They are even seemingly hitting what they are actually intending to hit, which is far from guaranteed with these kinds of improvised artillery pieces.
This sounds more reasonable than the original NonCredible article title
This model can fire large ordnance such as water heaters or oxygen cylinders weighing as much as 661 pounds.
bruh
Can we call the people using this “truckaneers”?
Now put it in the bed of a Toyota Hilux!
That seat now has shell shock.
I thought that was a dead person at first.
