Artillery Lovers Group
Hobbies & Interests
Originally applied to any group of infantry primarily armed with projectile weapons, artillery has over time become limited in meaning to refer only to those engines of war that operate by projection of munitions far beyond the range of effect of personal weapons. These engines comprise specialised devices which use some form of stored energy to operate, whether mechanical, chemical, or electromagnetic. Originally designed to breach fortifications, they have evolved from nearly static installations intended to reduce a single obstacle to highly mobile weapons of great flexibility in which now reposes the greater portion of a modern army's offensive capabilities.
"An image of something supposedly thought up of on September 5, 1917. WW2 would have loved this. Well, it wouldn't of started, the Germans would no longer exist, just imagine this sucker VS. the P1000/P1500 Landkreuzer series tanks. The Apocalypse."

i think that could sink the heaviest battleship in the history (Yamato) with 1 hit.
I think the Yamato would destroy this immobile gun with one hit, no matter what gun it fired with (and it had lots!) :p
