Which World War Two cannon is the most powerful in World War
-
I would say it is the Nazi cannon " Kanone Something-or-Other", nicknamed "Gustav". It is considered the biggest cannon ever made. It fires a shell, weighing hundreds of pounds and takes 550 men to load and reload her!

if everyone accepts their destiny and be contented with what they have, there won't be any wars/conflicts in this world.

Was it ever fired at someone? Test-fires don't count.

all were probably too tired to fire after loading that thing...Originally posted by ditzy:Was it ever fired at someone? Test-fires don't count.

I believe you are talking about Dora.
Only 1 was made and fired only 40 times before captured by the russians.
Caliber: 800 mm
Weight of the projectile: 4 800.0 kg
Muzzle velocity: 820 meters per second
Range: 46 980 meters -
