Another big gun thread

That Bull fella had ambitions to fire craft into space.......not sure how they were supposed to return....so a 1m dia "bullet" would have been small in his eyes.

Don't Let Elon Musk see this tread

I'm sure someone built a small scale of the German design with the multiple charges in side arms..seemed to think it would work full scale

The pipes (barrel) were designed to be bolted together and layed up a hillside to give it the elevation, Cant remember how long the "barrel" was but a h@ll of a length,

There is a section of the tubing in the Imperial War Museum Duxford on display in the American Air Museum.

All these superguns were obsolete years ago, precision aerial bombing is much less hassle. Hitler did build one in Northern France and had it aimed at London, but i think the RAF bombed it before it could be used.

Do you know one of those railway massive guns disappeared and no one knows what happened to it or where it went ?

Imagine getting the job whizzing all the nuts and bolts on that

Yes they were seized at Teesport on their way to Iraq....I think they were described as chemical piping.......Common knowledge round here that they were for the "gun"...Forgemasters were failing and needed the money.. Someone was murdered and there were some that were scared....the Israeli Mossad were blamed

They were indeed described as piping. My other half's insurance company were asked to insure the "pipes". The guy who came into the office was wearing a Taqiyah. He wouldn't deal with a woman, only a man. After the interception a high ranking government official came to "visit" the offices. It wasn't a social call. They also insured King Tut's stuff when we borrowed it for the exhibition. That was transported as non security goods in crates on the back of an inconspicuous looking lorry so as not to attract attention.

They arrested an Irish guy with a lorry full of cattle ,,, after a few days they let him go again



They thought the leather from the animals hides was going to be used to make the holster for the super gun.
