Much, much smaller than artillery, think "crew served".

The gauge, is for a weapon smaller than 20mm and has nothing to do with it's sights or elevation.

Hint 6: The weapon, that requires this gauge to function properly, has been used in the anti-aircraft role, on the ground and in the air.

Harvs · 03-02-15, 05:14 PM

Something from a .50 cal ?

Jimbuna · 03-02-15, 05:28 PM

A Vickers or a Lewis machine gun?

Harvs · 03-02-15, 06:07 PM

A timing gauge for a Browning .50 cal machine gun?
