Well, guns could easily last for a 100 years like the 1873 Colt SAA that's still perfectly operational. As for this huge cannon, it's only been shot once and since well maintained and greased down so I wouldn't be surprised if the parts were original)
I always wondered if the cruiser Aurora and dreadnought Potemkin are the same thing... the story in the S.M. Eisenstein movie is pretty similiar to the real story of the Aurora. Anyone knows more?

Nope, these two are different.
The Potemkin revolt was the first step to
the revolution (in 1905)
whereas Aurora was used to signal the start of the October revolution in 1917.

Thanks for the info ;) by the way forgive my ignorance, but are you saying that the Potemkin is a REAL battleship?

The Potemkin is real. Go search for it on Wikipedia.
