"The largest gun ever built had an operational career of 13 days, during which a total of 48 shells were fired in anger. It took 25 trainloads of equipment, 2000 men and up to six weeks to assemble. It seem unlikely that such a weapon will ever be seen again."

sounds like all the effort = self ownerage h:

i've seen that thing on the history channel tons of times h:

 

I need one of those for deer hunting. That way I won't have to gut it when I shoot it, hell I won't even have to tag it. :chuckles:

 

Provided you get a direct hit on a deer /w a gun that size anyways, i doubt thered be any molecules left

 

With a gun that size, I don't need a direct hit, just somewhere within one hundred feet.

 

I've seen something like that at the army museums around here. Probably a lot smaller than that but same idea, big ass cannon on a train.
