<<<According to sources, U.S. and Israeli intelligence were surprised to discover not one but three or four super guns just turned up in Iraq's arsenal - weapons far more advanced and effective than the cannon Bull developed. It comes in two versions The largest has a 1,000 mm diameter barrel, 260 meters (248 yards) long and a maximum range of 2,000 miles. The barrel of the smaller version is 350 mm in diameter and 30 meters (32 yards) long. Its range is up to 250 miles. The Iraqis may have two of each, hidden in Saddam's underground city. They remained undiscovered for so long because they were dismantled and concealed in segments - the barrel of the biggest super gun is made up of 35 separate pipes. It was only when the Iraqis started assembling the super guns that U.S. and Israeli satellites spied them out. >>>> Straight out of a Frederick Forsyth novel "The Fist of God" , and feasible but would have to be fixed in place with distance controlled by the powder load or shell weight. You are allowed one guess as to which country one of them is aimed at. Sig
