I think it could put a pretty good sized hole in that amphibeous-looking vehicle down yonder.
 

 Ok.....  I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say that the narrel is an iron Confederate rifled 12lb gun. It's mounted on a  display carriage, likely steel,  for use as a monument piece. I deduce it's an iron fun because of the rust in the bore. Otherwise, it's a bronze tube with a steel liner, which would make it a reproduction tube.

   What fgves the carriage away is the small-diameter axle shaft. The real ones are massive, and the one being used there is too small to both support the weight and movement of the gun.

Blue fescue. Definitely, blue fescue.
 
Rope carrier, M42A mkII, with defensive capability, towable.
 
Not a tank, definitely, unless one is Arty ...

Meh.  That was a really weak one, JMH.  Even for a tanker.
 
Ooooooh ...
Minimum score rules are now in place?
