Inventory:
It has a dedicated ammo slot that can hold one 94.5mm shell (meaning you can only have one shell loaded in the barrel and one spare).
Transport
As an Emplaced Weapon it cannot move on its own, and must be packaged and lifted by Cranes in order to be moved anywhere. It can be transported by shipping vehicles.
Placement
It can be placed pretty much anywhere on land, even on top of world structures. It can be placed within 60 meters of a region's border ("no build" zone), however it will still quickly decay there. The only notable place where it can't be placed is Bridges.
It can also be placed inside a Trench Emplacement. Doing so quadruples its health and doubles its rotation speed. However if the Trench Emplacement is destroyed, the Emplaced Weapon goes along with it.
Squad Reservation
Like all Emplaced Weapons, the original builder can reserve it for a Squad 
for 52 hours in the interface to prevent non-members from packaging it (but not from using it).
When placed in a Trench Emplacement, the Reserve Multiple 
button allows the builder to reserve it and every structure they built that is connected to it by some form of network: Bunker & Trench, Foundation, Power Line, Pipeline.
The reservation can be refreshed 
by any squad member. If the reservation expires, the structure is supposed to never be reservable again however this can be bypassed by simply packaging and unpackaging it.
The reservation is removed if it is packaged however it can be reserved again.
Structure Event Log
Clicking the View Actions Log button 
at the bottom of its interface opens the Structure Event Log that lists recent events, with timestamps and player names displayed. Among the events listed are when it's packaged or unpackaged. The log only displays the last 80 events (5 pages).
Visibility
It is invisible at night, just like infantry and behind physical obstacles. It can also be hidden by being placed inside large bushes, but is revealed to people within 10m. Only its firing effects (smoke and flashes from the barrel) will betray its presence. This only works if it's not packaged.
Resistance
It is immune to small arms, fragmentation grenades, but not to 12.7mm machine gun fire and it is pretty resistant to most heavier explosives.
Tactics
It is recommended to emplace it inside at least a Tier 2 emplacement trench, to quadruple its health. It can also be hidden inside bushes or behind obstacles or gates.
As it holds a maximum of only two shots, it is helpful to have ammunition staged nearby in a storage bunker, storage box, or base. A nearby supply of basic materials for repairs is also recommended.
It is vulnerable to infantry assaults. Keeping enemy infantry away is vital to support the gun so it can focus on enemy armor.
Gunners should carry gas masks and filters so that they cannot be easily killed by gas grenades.
