German 75mm stubby gun emplacement?

Hi

I noticed this odd looking German gun in Youtube, it kinda looks like a low velocity gun but i'm not sure.
Any help on identifying this.

Thanks

Difficult from that image but it could be a recoil less weapon.

 

[mackeebryanee13]

it had recoil in it

maybe this?

It's an 8,8 cm Flak gun, most probably with a wooden cover over the recuperator.

Hi Grzesio

It’s too short to be an 88mm. If u could watch it in youtube at 25:22

Yes, I watched, already before I wrote my previous post. We are looking at the gun from approx. 7 o'clock. Shape of the RA-9 barrel and Sd.Ah. 202 bogie are quite clearly seen.

Could it be some kind of field repair - for example, end of the barrel was damaged, and it was cut off so the gun could be at least somehow used?

not very likely the barrel was chopped more likely the barrel is pointing away from the camera and looks shorter because of it
