Stormin Norman Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 http://www.freakaccident.com/images/iotd/youmissed.jpg "The only firing of the 280mm Atomic Cannon. It occurred in 1953 and had a yield of 15kt" here are some comments, not mine, possibly untrue, I got off the msg board above the pic came from. "the big gun, I read an article about it a while back, it was carried by a truck on each end (think of a Push-me-pull-you tractor-trailer). For firing it sits on a big tuntable in the middle and is so perfectly balanced that it can be turned by one man pushing it! You can see it at the Aberdeen Proving Ground Armor Museum in Maryland (NE of Baltimore)." "For all that is crazy in Nuclear Science you have to visit the Museum in Albuquerque NM at the Kirkland Air Force Base. You can touch (by reaching over the velvet ropes) and see suit case bombs, nuclear artilery shells, air to air, you name it. Also has the great build board "Nuclear Engineering - A mind is a terrible thing to waste" - Off I-25 towards Santa Fe " lots of nuke pics http://nuketesting.enviroweb.org/hew/Wallpaper.html original site, see bottom. (changes weekly) http://zzz.com.ru/ sorry for all the nuke stuff, but maybe someday there will be a Combat Mission: Korea and we can ask BTS to model Nuclear artilery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
