Don't write "Worlds biggest real cannon" as the title then "worlds second biggest" in the description...Fucking idiot

this is in no way the biggest cannon in the world, it is a mid size German naval cannon re-pressed into service in a land based installation, something the Germans liked to do, especially along the western wall. its range would have been in excess of 10 miles but a fifteen inch naval piece would be capable of doubling that range. this installation in Norway would have likely to have been a long range and concealed position able to engage allied warships on the approach from the north atlantic.

@332andersen It's good that they're preserving things like this, then. Reminders of the past, and fascinating feats of engineering, it would be a pity if they didn't.

Various calibres of cannon vary in maximum range subject to the shot and projectile. The 18.1" guns mounted on the Japanese battleships Yamoto and Mushashi had a mamimum effective range of approx' 30 miles. The "Paris" gun used by the Germans in WWI had an effective range of some 100Km, however the projectile was in the 8 -10 inch range.

it's alot easier to shoot down a cruise missile then a cannon projectile ^.^

16 miles? an 8 inch gun could easily outrange that :D
