The 10 Biggest Guns Ever Made (Ranked By Caliber Size)

Рет қаралды 561,109

3 жыл бұрын

From range to firepower, when it comes to guns - size matters. Mankind had always been keen on finding ways to main, kill, and burn each other and in the process, driving innovation. However, it was only after the onset of the industrial revolution that we began to see true giants fielded on the battlefield. Guns began to increase progressively in size as rival great powers competed in a bid to outpower and outrange each other. This trend, however, ended with the onset of rocketry which nullified any advantage of fielding such expensive behemoths.
In this video, we will showcase to you the top 10 biggest guns ever build or made to date. The Schwerer Gustav was the largest-caliber rifled weapon ever used in combat and, in terms of overall weight, the heaviest mobile artillery piece ever built. It fired the heaviest shells of any artillery piece.

The Oka/Condensator was a counterpart to the US nuclear artillery experiments (like literally mini-nukes, not just the poisoning depleted uranium used today), exemplified by the nuclear shells developed for Iowa and the gun/mortar nicknamed Atomic Annie, which did actually see service in Korea (Yes, US technically nuked other countreis, not just Japan). And it could shoot more than once. However, shooting meant that you lose the capability of an SPG as the recoil from the gun would damage either the transmission or the suspension.

The announcer doesn't know what "caliber" is in relation to artillery. Caliber is has much longer the barrel is in relation to the diameter of the shell. The Iowa Class Battleships guns are 16"/50 Caliber which means the length is 16" X 50 = 800 inches.

@CharlesStearman 3 жыл бұрын

That is not quite correct - the caliber is the bore size of the gun and 16"/50 caliber mean that the barrel length is 50 times the caliber.

Caliber is the diameter of the shells, Length in Calibers is the length of the barrel measured using the caliber So a 75/34 Mod. 1934 cannon for example is a 75mm in caliber and L34 in barrel length, which is 2550mm, 2.5 meters.

Basillica was design by Munir Ali in 1464, weight 16 ton, length 5.18 m (17.0 ft) and diameter is 1054 mm (41.5 in).

yeah, those guns are impressive, but really heavy. since it's barrel was made with wrought iron (the chamber were bronze one) and fire a massive stone balls, it became dangerous after a couple of shots and i read that even one of them explode due to overheat. several centuries after the fall of constantinople, this gun saw another action against british ships off gibraltar IIRC, and put massive holes into the ship. nevertheless the ship survives and the gun was captured by the brits. Early guns were massive, but it could only fire stone balls or else it would turn into a massive bomb. that's why it's fellow bombard, mons meg in this video could only fire several hundreds kilos of stone ball

Invasion of Japan didn't happen because of Russian victories in Mainland China, where main Japanese forces where defeated. Only after that they surrendered. . Atomic bombings didn't do any effects on Japanese military or economical potential and damage wasn't that huge and didn't change any Japanese fighting spirit. Atomic barbaric bombing of civil cities is war crime for which USA is damned and doomed.

@niklaswein5055 3 жыл бұрын

@@AlexanderTch That is - as far as I know - not completely true. Yes, the USSR won against the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria but that was mainly because of the Japanese nearly emmediatly surrendered. Furthermore was this not the main cause for the USA to not invade Japan's mainland. The main reason was that the US suffered great losses in the invasion of Okinawa and the atomic bomb was successfully tested in Nevada. They now had the choice of either invading the Japanese mainland and to probably suffer even greater losses or to use the newly invented atomic bomb which they chose to use to test the destructive power of the atomic bomb which had the positive side effect of maybe making the Japanese surrender which happened. But before the USA accepted they tested the second bomb made out of plutonium. The destructive power of the atomic bombs was indeed devastating as many people died and the Japanese wooden buildings were easily destroyed. Also Nagasaki, the target of the second bomb, was an important harbour (also militarily) and the destruction of which did have a military impact. But the intention of the US was mostly just to test the atomic bomb and is indeed in my opinion a severe war crime.

@@niklaswein5055 I repeat, Atomic bomb didn't change anything. It was just 15-20 kilotons and it didn't do any damage to Japanese military or economic potential. Main Japanese forces were in China and most resources they got from China. USA knew that without USSR they would have lost half of their army. Japan didn't even think about surrendering until USSR broke their lines in China, came to Korea and capture main Chinese lands. Nagasaki was bombed on 9 of August ,and the same day Russian Army started war. And Japanese surrendered only in September, 3 weeks later after bombings. Bombs were to scare UsSR, not Japan. Bombs had very low power and USA had just few of them. Japan suffered heavy bombings before . So, bombings didn't affect on Japan leadership or military commandment either. Nobody knew exactly what's that weapon about. Japan was bombed more terribly by conventional bombs, like German cities were terribly burnt by western allies without any nuclear power.

@niklaswein5055 3 жыл бұрын

@@AlexanderTch Why exactly Japan surrendered is not known. On the radio the Showa-Tenno just said the war has not necessarily evolved to Japan's advantage. Surely, the victory of the USSR in Manchuria was one of the causes. But Japan's main forces weren't in Manchuria where the USSR attacked, as Manchuria belonged to Japan since 1905 when they won against Russia in the Russo-Japanese-War (1904-1905). At the time the USSR broke their non-agression-pact with Japan and declared war, Japan's defeat was already clear. They lost their main naval forces in the battle of Midway as well as their only 4 aircraft carriers and couldn't compet with the US-Navy. Their land troops were poorly equipped and scattered around south east asia. They were pushed back in Burma by the British, in New Guinea by the Australians, the front in China came to stop due to lack of recourses and the merge of the Chinese nationalists and communists and the US took island after island from Japan in bloody beach landings. The Japanese air force couldn't keep up to the American as they could produce many planes due to lack of recourses. Manchuria, where the USSR attacked only was used by Japan to produce millet which was mainly used to feed other colonies like Korea which pruduced rice. The atomic bomb that was thrown over Nagasaki did indeed destroy the military harbour of Nagasaki although this wasn't the main objective of the US. As I said earlier, it isn't exactly known which event caused the surrender of the Japanese. Fact is, they offered to surrender after the first atomic bomb to which the USA didn't respond. They accepted after the second one. Both the USA and the USSR now had the chance of invading Japan. I think, that all those events led to the Japanese surrender and not only the actions of the Soviet Union. Also I quite enjoy this discussion. It is very interesting to discuss with someone who also knows quite a bit about the Pacific War. You have earned my respect.

If I remember right the barrel could be up to 18 meters long the shells weight up to 800 kg. The canons were placed along with the danish north coast and was the biggest coastal fortification, built by the Nazis in Scandinavia.
