Wierd Artillery Gun

Does anyone know what this? It looks like that Japanese Protected Shield Machine Gun. Who knows?

Re: Wierd Artillery Gun

Looks makeshift. Perhaps some British civilian defense weapon?

Could be a 20 mm judging by the size of the recoil surppressor under the barrel.

Re: Wierd Artillery Gun

Check out the bar where the tow hitch should be. That piece was intended to pulled by two men. The wheels almost look aircraft.

Strange.
