Right? This must be goofing off. He bet his squad mates he could squat the cannon.
wouldn't say that because during World War I, the Italian front was predominantly fought in mountainous terrain, which probaly the reason he carries the gun
"You know very well this 'back pain' of yours is not service related!"
Username checks out
I'm a stupid civvie
Looks heavy AF to me
I would be much easier to carry if they took the wheels off, what a dumbass
The wheels maybe. Just maybe. Be needed when firing. In some terrain it may be easier to lift it but judging from the picture I bet he was either telling people he can lift it or I bet he was like. Oh get one with me carrying it. Pictures were way rarer so if you had one you wanted it to be either perfect or epic.
“Are you in the infantry, or artillery?” “Yes”
I bet if you asked him he would not call that a "light" gun.
The Monopoly board must be HUGE.
