The spherical section is the mounting, the traverse is kind of like a HL elevation motor on its side pressing the gun against a spring and the elevation is a wheel with a peg that engages a slot on the side of the gun. Kind of difficult to describe without a piccy, but obvious when you open it up

As for recoil, I'm not sure how you can seperate the main barrel from the rest of the assembly

Did they recoil in real life?

Dont think they recoiled, the holes around the muzzle will allow gases to escape

No recoil in real life im using the top hull to make the fictional Sturmtiger II tank destroyer so was wondering what the in sides look like thinking could use some of it .

We'll soon have as many SturmTigers in the Detroit club as there were in real life
