    I'ld say you've posted in the wrong section, try this one http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1008, but I don't think you need a licence for it, planning permission maybe.

    Look up Irish Military Vehicles club.
    protac in the Curragh might be a good place to start.
    Them guys all have replica stuff that they put on their vehicles

    Mate of mine has a few landrovers etc with that kinda gear on it.

    That's because it isn't German, it's Russian.

    It is the ML-20 gun-howitzer.

    That there bullet is a 152mm shell.
