Obviously not a cannon shell. No recoil!

v-v Tsk.. Of course it's a blank..

Is it because there's no 88mm shells around anymore? Or maybe it's not allowed to fire?

Ridiculous and wrong idea of ​​this gun. Not even a millimeter of recoil on the blank cartridge. Unfortunately, such videos make the reality and the monstrosity of this gun ridiculous.
