Wait a minute... It said at the end it fires 10 rounds per minute. Is the Mark 16 a multi-barreled weapon? Or can a crew cycle a round that quickly? I mean they would have to be Hulks if the round is 260-335 lbs...
@BigKyleTX It was 3 guns on one turret. I'm pretty sure this is referring to the speed of all the guns on the turret combined, so a more realistic number would be 3-4 rounds per minute, which is still very fast. You also have to take into account that 10 is probably the maximum stress that the gun can withstand, not necessarily a number that was acheived in combat or training.
@GunWebsites They were clearly priceless, and worth every penny! I wasn't trying to be silly with my question, I rarely am. I am sincerely curious just how much the entire shell originally cost us, in comparison to what the spent casing is worth today.
Way cool . . . now that is some real brass.
