They had some massive train mounted cannon that was used against Sevastopol and they had to change the barrel after 200 shots I think. I don't think they ever changed the barrel.

They might have only had a 200 mile range, but a top speed of 3500 mph, so they covered that ground quite quickly.
Also, they couldn't have been all that bad as they were in service until 1952.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

The V3 was the inspiration for one of Sadam's madder ideas, creating a staged gun to lob shells at Israel.

For dear old Freako: the above relates to a gun for Saddam Hussein. The Israelies didn't like the idea too much & put a stop to it.Comment

Scott Report - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For dear old Freako, this relates to the perfidy of government, particularly in attempting to prosecute people for stuff which parts of government had approved.
Odd really.
Well, not really.
Much what one might expect, all in all.
Scott identified three main areas of democratic concern. First, the Import, Export and Customs Powers (Defence) Act 1939 was emergency legislation passed at the outbreak of the Second World War.
It allowed the government to issue regulations which were not subject to resolutions in Parliament, for the duration of the emergency, which would make it a criminal offence to export particular goods to particular countries.
While the Act should have been lapsed in 1945, it remained in force, and had been modified in 1990 so as to become part of the Import and Export Control Act 1990. [1]
The second area was the failure of ministerial accountability; the principle that "for every action of a servant of the crown a minister is answerable to Parliament".
The third area was that of Public interest immunity certificates, which had been issued during the Matrix Churchill trial.
As a result of these certificates, innocent men were in danger of being sent to prison, because the government would not allow the defence counsel to see the documents that would exonerate their clients.
While some of these contained potentially sensitive intelligence material, many were simply internal communications: the certificates were intended to protect the Ministers and civil servants who had written the communications, rather than the public interest.Last edited by zeitghost; 8 June 2017, 08:28.Comment
