I like that.  Someone should go t the Washington Naval yard and measure the large railgun they have on display.  Believe it's a 14" naval gun.  Impressive looking railgun.

Bob, that thing's pretty cool. Must be really old - open spoked wheels:

Apparently one of the Leopold guns is right up the road at Aberdeen:

Interesting that we shipped this monster stateside!

The one in Aberdeen was shipped out by NS this past year to another location.   There is also a indicidual 14 inch gun barrell resting on a set of ancient fox trucks near the one at the Navt Yard.

It was moved to Atlas' HQ where Paul is going to use it to hunt for Trolls   :trollface:
