My version of the German WW 2 3.7 cm Pak 36 AT-gun.

Due to how small the gun was and how huge the guns and gun barrels in the game are, even the machine gun,it is very much an approximation. The gun is too big, the barrels far too thick, and since we can't sclae actuators even the smallest ones are a bit too chunky to make the top half of the gun shield fold down as it actually did without it clunky. That's why the top of the shield is shaped like it is, so it could fold down over the barrel.

Since there's no way I could fit one of the actual cannons on here, and even less so the auto cannon (why is it so much bigger?!?!) I've had to use 32 standard machine guns and 2 HE machine guns (for a bit of visible impact) to somewhat simulate the armour piercing capabilities of the gun. It sort of work, but for some reason the bullets often don't knock off exterior armour but still penetrates it and wreaks havoc inside. So sort of realistic I guess?

Because of all the stacked guns needed I made the whole thing out of aluminium instead of steel to reduce weight. It still weighs almost twice it's real life counterpart but if I made it out of steel it would weigh over 1.2 tons so...

Info from Wikipedia

The Pak 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36) was a 3.7 cm caliber German anti-tank gun used during the Second World War. It was the main anti-tank weapon of Wehrmacht Panzerjäger units until 1942. It was first issued to the German Army in 1936, with 9,120 being available by the beginning of the war in September 1939 and a further 5,339 produced during the war. As the predominant anti-tank gun design in the world during the late 1930s, demand was high for the Pak 36, with another 6,000 examples produced for export and the design being copied by the Soviet Union as the 45 mm anti-tank gun M1932 (19-K) and by other nations such as Japan.

It first saw service during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, where it performed well against the light tanks of the conflict. It was first used during the Second World War against Poland in 1939 and had little difficulty with any of the Polish tanks. The Battle of France in 1940 revealed its inadequate penetration capability against French and British heavier tanks, particularly the Char B1, and especially the Matilda II, receiving the derisive nicknames "Heeresanklopfgerät" ("army door-knocking device") or "PanzerAnklopfKanone" ("tank door-knocking cannon") from its crews, but it sufficed to defeat the bulk of the Allied armor in the campaign. The invasion of the Soviet Union brought the Pak 36 face to face with large numbers of T-34 and KV-1 tanks, which were invulnerable to its fire. However, 91% of the Soviet tank forces in 1941 consisted of lighter types that lacked sufficient armor to defeat the gun, and the Pak 36 knocked out thousands of such tanks.

The Pak 36 began to be replaced from late 1940 onward by the 5 cm Pak 38 anti-tank gun and from November 1941 by the 7.5 cm Pak 40. This process was accelerated by the engagements with the modern Soviet tanks, and Pak 36 production ceased entirely in early 1943. The introduction in 1942 of the Stielgranate 41 shaped charge gave it the ability to punch through the armor of any Allied tank, but the ammunition's short range made the Pak 36 crews vulnerable to enemy fire and could not solve the gun's basic obsolescence. German paratroopers employed the gun due to its low weight and consequent high maneuverability. The Pak 36 was also used by Axis-allied, second-line, garrison and training units until the end of the war.

The KwK 36 L/45 was the same gun, but used as the main armament on several tanks, most notably the early models of the Panzer III.

CONTROLS
Alt + Arrow keys or Mouse: Traverse (-30 to +30degrees) and elevation (-5 to +25 degrees).
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire. It only fires "AP" but there is a bit of HE in there too, and since machine gun HE does next to nothing I didn't bother to add even more machine guns and weight just for that. Reload time about 5 seconds.
X / Disable steering: Limber/Unlimber.
Spacebar: Hand brake. Keep the hand brake on when shooting to lessen recoil, but dont forget to release when towing.
Camera 1: Gun sight.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by "science" in this case, they just didn't have any wheels in the back. They were towed by vehicles, not driven.
But if you mean you want to try to make it possible to push it feel free to add some. Not sure you can anyway because of the weight TBH, but as I said feel free to try.
