Definitely a fake looking at how the barrels are located on the mantlet there's no room for recoil in that standard turret

If you look hard enough online you can find the original photo with only one barrel...

Looks like a good "what if" scratch build subject to me.

Fake or not.

Excellent Ps job on that photo. Lol

When you look closely at the gun barrels you can see spots (camo?) that are in identical places. Anyway, a worthwhile candidate for Dragon!

It's actually an artillery observation vehicle with two fake gun barrels to really fool the enemy.

I'm pretty sure Robin knows it is fake.... if you look at his comment, he posted it for amusement rather than a serious discussion.

This one is for serious discussion:

This here has all the signs of a photoshoped photo.Don't know if you have ever seen the supposed T-34 with the 88mm flak that was claimed attached in it.There a plenty of the fake photos out there like this.

You can tell the M3 is faked because the real one had another 37mm sticking out the driver's visor!

It's hard to see in this photo, but the lower hull also had small drop-down flaps on either side of the center bogie, on each side, thru which a Thompson could be fired in order to repel boarders.

Are you trying to imply there is false information on the internet?

To be honest, none of those seem legit.

You’re wrong, the one with 20 barrels has been spotted in parades.

I had no idea this actually existed, it’s bananas. What’s the second barrel for, in case the first shell misses?

Drat! I was hoping it was the 2nd pic with the six barrels in a Gatling gun type set-up. That last pic resembles a Katyusha on steroids.

If they have two auto-loaders (or two human loaders ...) then one barrel can be firing while the other is being reloaded so in THEORY it would be possible to get twice the firing rate.
The relative gain from this depends on the reload time. If the auto-loader is able to reload the gun before the chassis has stabilised after the previous round then the firing rate will still depend on when the whole platform is ready to fire again. On the other hand, if the auto-loader is slow then there might be a benefit from this.
Another, maybe useless, idea is that one barrel could be loaded with a different type of round, always on the ready for an emergency....
A third option: trying to trick other nations into wasting time on investigating/developing something similar.

Simply carrying around a spare barrel is just too crazy


Daylight saving time:
First introduced by Germany during WW I. The French found out about it and did the same on their side of the front, just in case it was some war winning scheme thought up by the Germans ....
