"F**k!! Sorry, guys, I thought we were supposed to have this thing pointed North instead of South. Looks like we'll have to dig it out and start all over again".

You just have to be more careful when selecting a holster.........

Didn't the Germans do a little better by mounting their big mortar onto a train?

NVM, that's an artillery piece, not a mortar...

Anyone bringing one to the next shoot? I'm in.

Holy Moses... this looks like something Hitler would have dreamed up.

It was orginally going to be used during the battle of Okinawa but it never made it over there in time.

Karl Mörser/Karl-Gerät?

It's tracked... not rail mounted (unlike the Big Bertha/Anzio Annie/Paris Gun/Rail Guns artillery pieces).

However, going on the rail mounted theme, I think the Krauts had some sort of Godzilla/King Kong like rail mounted mortar as well.

Could have been WWI, WWII or both.

"Karl" was a 60 cm mortar on tracks (WWII)

whereas "Dora" was a 80cm train-mounted artillery piece.
The tracks were laid as a curve "Schiesskurve" to enable the entire train to direct the monstrous gun.

"Big Bertha" was a 42cm WWI-era howitzer

Wow, that was amazing!

 

[TimMcG74]

Is there a shoulder fired version?

 

[JuergenG]

Depends on the size of ones shoulder

That must have been in the pre " Shoot Move and Communicate" days.

Today, a device with ten times the conventional firepower could be delivered from the other side of the planet with "ring the doorbell" accuracy.

I think it might be a little to heavy for deer hunting but im willing to give it a try .

 

[Radtekk]

Ummmm…. LITTLE David??? Big David I guess fires whole tanks?

 

[sportycliff]

I could use that to blast through the all the ledge on my property. I could then dig deeper than 3 feet...

All that work to throw the projo 9500 yards, less than 5.5 miles. With a what, 10-20 degree azimuth travel?
I bet the baseplate is abandoned in place after your target has been destroyed/moved.

I'm gonna put this one in the same category as the nuke round for recoilless rifle.

Well, that was BEFORE EC started loading for the caliber...

But the M65 "Davey Crockett" could be quickly set up and easily moved with just a Jeep.
If your troops are destined to die anyway it would be a good option.
Sounds like just the thing Al Queda would want.
