minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•edit-29 days agoSee the screws? That’s carbon-reinforced iron right there!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•9 days agoIts on wheels in part so the recoil rolls it backwards. I’m not 100% sure but it also looks like a fairly modern canon, modernity being the period from 16th to early 20th C
minus-square@jaybonelink1•9 days agoThat giant ass vertical screw in the back looks pretty solid. If there’s a similar one in the front I’d think this thing is good.
