Abandoned Artillery Battery

You must be into big asses :P

[FireOfEire]

You could build a nice house there.

Was this maybe from WWII. To defend San Francisco from the Japanese?

[noizeof77]

That isnt Davis. Its the Mendel Gun battery. Had the famous "disappearing guns". I was there a few years ago. There was graffitti all over it. Too bad people are so disrespectful. Very nostalgic standing there.

@noizeof77 What do you expect from filthy lawless mexicans that do nothing but destroy EVERYTHING this country stands for.

[baileys60]

i didnt realise you shoot planes with artillery guns

[mc50992]

@baileys60 Yup! The shells would have timed or pressure sensitive fuses and would explode in the air hopefully damaging planes with the explosion itself or it's shrapnel. Warships with modified with deck guns that could fire such rounds and elevate their barrels high enough to fire at planes during world war two escort duties as well.

@mc50992 i know, i dont know why i wrote that. the german 88 was most deadly in my eyes. must of been drunk or stoned or both! thanks for the reply.

[RoHoAirsoft]

Ive been there!! also been to alot of those on the other side.

[nagaempress]

If that is where I think it is the name of it is Battery Davis. There is a Battery identical to it directly across it in Marin :)

I'VE BEEN THERE!!! haha, it was like 4-5 years ago, idk if it's off limits now, but back then, it was free for all! :)

p.s. i don't think it was at that exact place, but it was really near the bridge..

[snowcamper]

wow, the one i went to was off limits. there was trash, and there wasn't one spot of wall that wasn't covered with graffiti.

[Piddyx]

Those were to defend against the British Empire, I believe.

[nagaempress]

I believe that is known as Battery Davis. At least thats what my father said the name of it was . Maybe thats one of the other ones that is down there. Can you get in there anymore? there is also one across the bridge in the Marin headlands

[skateallday005]

lets throw a party lol

[dblock5150]

ive been there XD

[drright71]

That's most likely part of the Nike missile defense system that once protected SF from nuclear attack using low-yield nuclear missiles.

[MissileMaster]

Incorrect - those are Endicott-era (late 1890's - early 1900's) U.S. Army Coast Artillery emplacements used to defend San Fran from naval surface attack.
