Ah yes, the 305mm.

A 155mm creates an SGLI-inprocessing 50m liquify radius, with 150m (gonna have a bad time) outer ring.

Basic cocktail napkin math tells be this things shells must atomize Superdome size spaces and clear out about a block in every direction otherwise. No?

305mm: for when you absolutely, positively, have to ruin somebody’s day.

OP

Similar gun (perhaps the same, Austrian-made?) had maximum range of ~12 km, looks like, with ~400m kill radius.

Four hundred fucking meters man. Jaysus. Think about that in terms of a drag strip (yeah yeah, I’m American). That’s a quarter fucking mile of disco death. Oh humans, please get past this phase. Please provide for all and there shall be no want, no sorrow, no hate. Please.

Awww, looks like a dog play bowing. Let him splatter a trench with human viscera, as a little treat
