During the men still have it, they will try to make it the most. What the hell? Do ngeres first, boss. We talk about gun cannon (canon)!

 Chinese Hand cannon

Although they are not known for having the biggest, the Chinese were actually the first to be builders. With a variety of reasons, they eventually stopped using it, especially because in addition to those who fear the enemy, they are often finding themselves sometimes blow up.

The Europeans really took the idea from which a thick metal cylinder, the supply of gunpowder, and a nasty surprise for those who do not shoot it to their liking. The beginning of their first cannons were simple mortars: bell-shaped lump of iron (because bell maker is the maker of the first cannon). They also often blew himself up, but unlike the Chinese, they ignored it, the important result is worth it, and while there who want to ignite the fuse.

 The First Truly Super

The first weapon which really "super" human use is the Great Turkish Bombard, which is also called the Dardanelles Gun, Guns Kingdom, Meriam people of Hungary, or other designation that if the clay betawi'll say this: "Busyeeet, that's what Meriem ship? "

Created in 1453 in Hungary and used the Turks to seize Constantinople, they shocked their builders by unexpectedly doing what they have planned: sending a 1500 pound granite ball to anyone where the muzzle of the gun was aimed.

Tsar's Bragging Monster

Not to be outdone, the Russians swaggered up with what is called Assured Demolisher. Pretended to be assembled in 1585, Tsar cannon's mouth wide with a monster designed to toss 800 pounds of bullets into their enemies. The Tsar was never fired, but never stop the Russian military bragging about how great this gun to people tired of hearing.

Another huge cannon: Mons Meg, made in 1449 and actually fired for 200 years - is now located at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland.

Trench Horror Upgrade

It says the first world war is really the first modern war. Poison gas, tanks, air combat, the machine gun - they happily berksperimen years of horror in it. But still the classic weapons are used, a thick metal cylinder old standby, gunpowder, and a nasty surprise, never miss. But since modern warfare, the cannon upgraded to a larger classic - very big.

It seems odd monster killer named after women, but the engineer did Krup-romantic: a bottle of champagne 17-inch caliber guns, they are baptized with the name of the daughter of his boss. Big Bertha, or more accurately "Fat Bertha" began with the German military, the Belgians at Liege, Namur, and Antwrep, and also used in Maubeuge, France with the size of the truly great.

But that was not enough. Bertha has a really incredible size, but what the Germans wanted was something to really show off - especially since America's arrogance begin to play a role.

Following Max Long Big Bertha

Looking for something they could strengthen the North Front to make them look bigger, they glanced at the sea and began to transplant ideas rather than developing it. Not so complicated, Long Max created as a weapon for the navy, the greatest German who ever have. Before long, these weapons are used on land. On the battlefield shows his teeth with weapons fired 1600 pound shells up to a distance of 30 miles!

First Terror Weapon

Apparently that was not enough! This weapon is the weapon at sea transplantation, and is sometimes called the first terror weapon.

Although needs extra care and do not produce great destructive power, but still frightening, especially the weapon is capable of sending pelornya as far as 80 miles!

This is the mustard for Germany - mounted on a special train, the sound is very loud to the point at which the same regular artillery also fired to quell the fire roaring.

Other notes:

Interesting concept of electric guns (without ammunition) in 1932:

 The biggest weapon Ever Made

When peace is made, the people started a little "polite" and wise about the size of their ammunition. Until the Germans decided to beat the drum of war.

No doubt, this is very impressive schwere Gustav. This weapon is owned by the German Navy, but unlike others who terrifying, Gustav Shewere more-more than a braggart who rumble.

The first weapon named "Gustav", which both "Dora":

The monster is so big that it took 2500 soldiers to prepare and to transport it to use with 25 series wagon train along about 1 mile!

Unlike the Paris version, the range is only 30 miles, but the Germans are completely satisfied with it, let alone this monster can cast bullets weighing 1000, 2000, or even 3000 pounds!

Other weapons of the era ("K-5E Leopold"):

Supergun Centipede

Germany not only obsessed with the size of the weapon. Britons and Americans also do not want to miss. Before the peace is violated again, Germany had one idea pamugkas, weapon really makes them really can not enforce their heads up high in the face of the earth.

Which makes the weapon Hochdruckpumpe V3 ("High Pressure Pump", or "Centipede") so interesting is that this is not a single weapon, but a collection of weapons which can be fired less precise and accurate with fast and faster. Is part of the whole Victor Weapon package that includes V1 Buzz Bomb and V2 (the first ballistic missile), V3 is permanently installed in the castle strong in France where the bullet will shoot up to a distance of more than 100 miles, right in the heart of London.

Much more than an able supergun Reach Stratosphere

After the war everything was to be thought out carefully and wisely. Many people no longer think of the size of their weapons, but something more effective and empowered to strengthen the artillery major. Eventually came the era of missiles which are made at the time. America itself with designer genius Gerald Bull Harp System build, far more than just supergun because it is designed to reach the end of the stratosphere.

As with the Krupps, Bull loved his gun. After weakening Harp, Bull tried to find another party to revive the idea about the real supergun, a materpiece, something that the world will recognize him as the greatest.

Terhebatnya project is Babylon Project, though somewhat vague, unclear Bull Harp will do what I can not do, Bull will create something that could be fired into space.

Bull was a genius but at the same stupid for one thing: to choose a client.

Babylon after his proposal to and fro, he finally chose the Middle East, where there has been a president write a check for him to make the biggest weapons in the world.

The problem is that the signature on the check belonged to Saddam Hussein, and of course make a lot of the frenzy, especially when Bull succeeded, Saddam could send missiles up to 500 miles!
