edit: tbf this was edited/“enhanced” after that, but still

Huh, on closer inspection I think it was terribly AI “enhanced” at some point. https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/jdadmm/minion_ciws_lmao/?show=original There’s versions of it from 5+ years ago as well as ones where the barrel looks fine https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fo0qudv7ofnq41.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daa0ac0db241bcbe67a47b29fb180805f5ae58d9d
