What is the function of attaching a steel bar to the muzzle of the lightning rod for some large caliber guns?

What lightning rod? The subject's eyes are really bad. Think for yourself. This cannon is equipped with a lightning rod. Do it if you don't do it. If it's thunder, it's impossible not to split it!

If there are two gunners on the gun car, will the face not be black and the hair on the head not emit black smoke? In fact, if you look closely, it is a circle, just like the nose ring on a cow's nose. This effect is the same as the nose ring on the cow's nose. You can walk with a rope. Of course, people don't call it a nose ring. People call it a traction hook. When the tractor is tied with this towing hook, you can pull it to walk.

Speaking of this, it is estimated that some friends will be curious: "No! When we watch documentaries or war movies about World War II, does this gun always go behind the hook? The bucket kept coming back, which made us look embarrassed. I am afraid that the barrel will go somewhere else and the barrel will run to the front. "

You don't understand this!

In the past, the muzzle pressure of the gun car was not low, so you adjusted the butt of the tractor. You can see that the head of the gun bore is higher than the back of the tractor. Would you please hook one? Artillery laughed at you for being a short tractor.

So there is no way. During World War II, everyone liked to hang their guns upside down, so there was nothing they could do. When the hook is reversed, it is still the pull rod of the artillery. This guy virtually increased the length of the team.

Our human nature is that we have difficulties to overcome. Later, the Soviet Union lowered the barrel first, and then hung a towing hook on the muzzle to pull the barrel away. This whole arrangement not only shortens the length of the team, but also greatly reduces the time for deploying artillery.

Why is it compressed? Didn't the gun bore face backwards? When you get to the position, you have to move the muzzle forward You can't fight your own camp. You pull the barrel away, which virtually reduces the time for the cannon car to adjust the general direction.

The other saves some space. After all, as long as there is a pull rod, there will always be room for an object. This guy saves this thing, so you don't have to choose that harsh place to shoot. It doesn't hurt to be smaller.

So everyone saw that the brains of the Soviets were really good, so they made such a way, so everyone began to do it. So, can all guns be pulled away by the barrel?

what can I say? As long as the gun barrel can be pressed to the same height behind the tractor. If you can't press it, you can only honestly pull the lever behind the butt and run away.

The reason why it can't be pressed down is related to the minimum angle that the gun chassis and muzzle can hit. To be reasonable, you have to ask the designer.
