But also there is a .50 caliber spotting rifle on top, so yes and yes.
Calling the M40 design 106mm.
Here is a complete round of ammunition for the M40 recoilless rifle, which the Pakistani weapon is a direct liscened copy of. Firing it works similarly to a conventional small arm.
There is a primer which sets off the propellant inside the casing which builds up pressure and pushes the projectile forward. With recoilless rifles, the difference is that the casing also has many holes in it which vent out some of the pressure that would otherwise go to propelling the projectile.
That vented pressure goes out of escape ports in the back. That vented pressure pushes the rifle forward at the same time that the recoil from the projectile's pressure is pushing it back, leading to essentially no recoil.
Recoilless weapons are common. Larger ones can be mounted on lightweight vehicles with no danger of the recoil knocking the vehicle over. The M40 being the American example, and the Soviet SPG-9 as a counterpart.
Other commonly seen recoilless weapons are the Carl Gustav, which has a different venting arrangement but follows the same principles.
The AT-4 which is a simplified, smoothbore derivative of the Carl Gustav.
Even the RPG-2 is a smoothbore recoilless weapon rather than a rocket launcher.
The RPG-7 uses a recoilless firing method to expel its rounds, which are then normally assisted by rocket motors that kick in when the projectile is already in flight, leading to many of the rounds for RPG-7s to be considered rockets (based on who is doing the classifying) however rounds like the OG-7 lack a rocket motor and are fired entirely by the expelling charge which also makes them recoilless projectile rounds.
I fired this moderately upgraded Glock 47 side by side with a nearly stock Glock 19.
The Performance Trigger was an interesting upgrade. I was skeptical of how much I'd feel it. It doesn't lighten the pull at all but it is supposed to make it smoother. To my surprise it does this. On a stock trigger I can feel various internal components as the trigger pull moves them, while on the performance trigger I only felt a smooth pull. I didn't even feel hitting the takeup wall which was a little bit of a surprise to my muscle memory in the Glock.
Ergonomically a Glock is a Glock. I have no strong opinions for or against Glock finger grooves as my fingers have always fit into them, but I've never felt I needed them. The slide release remains as low profile and with a worn down face as always, so I pulled the slide on a reload as always. The Glock 47 includes front serrations to help. Not required but nice to ensure a little grippy on the front.
The Holosun had a dot in a circle reticle. It had already been zeroed for 10 yards. Against a 10 yard target my rapid fire mag dump landed all but 3 hits in the center, with the 3 flyers in the 9 ring. Which I will attribute positively to both the improved trigger and the Holosun. The Holosun especially made rapid fire while staying on target much easier.
The Performance Trigger annoys me because it is genuinely a great if unassuming upgrade for Glocks, but it costs $120ish which seems like Glock double dipping against consumers since they could simply make it the new stock trigger. I want to recommend it to non-competitive shooters who aren't looking for a hair trigger competition upgrade, but on the other hand it rewards Glock for its practices. If you find a used gun with one of these triggers already installed, it is a plus though.
"Welcome to your master bedroom!" was playing in my head during that one part of the movie, which probably deflated the tension a bit.
"You know which ones are settlements in need of your help dontcha?"
"...all of them?"
Add more Blanche art to this thread. I'll properly organize it eventually. This is a tribute to the late, great John Blanche.
I'm very happy whenever a smaller studio (this game was developed by the Shovel Knight team) not just sees success, but becomes a stable small team able to put out multiple games.
This structure of small, but relatively stable and established teams seems like a much healthier gaming ecosystem than the bloated quadruple-A studio with hundreds of developers and a focus on mind numbing photorealism over actual gameplay.

F-16s were certified to carry B-61 nuclear bombs in October 1980, the same time they were certified as combat operational with the USAF.
Officially it is called 106mm in all of the documentation. However it is in reality 105mm. The name change was made to help prevent mixing up ammunition with the M27 which is also 105mm. So it is one of those things where "yes but no." no matter what you call it.
