I think I found it. It's a kinda artillery called Dinamo-Reaktivnaya Pushka (short DRP):

Thanks for that, walki1. So it wasn't designed to fire apples? That's disappointing... :(

Dunno. The DRP seems much longer than whats in the Vid.

The thing in the Vid is much shorter, looks like somebody tore the face off the cooling reservoir of a Vickers and modified it into a grenade launcher.

Im still sticking with the "raiding the local museum for weapons" theory.
That weapon is so fucking strange it has to be something from a old era  ;D

Definitely not the dynamo-reactive gun:

since the projectile could never be (and never was) of spherical shape.  ;)

Save those ideas for the Obstheer (fruit army).
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
