Description
Originally intended for the shelling of mainland Imperial Japan to assist with invasion near the end of the war, this three-foot-caliber beast was tested at Aberdeen Proving Ground on the 6th of July, 1945.

This heavy duty mortar lobbed 3,650 American Pounds(1,656kg for people who might be on the receiving end) of shell, or one and four-fifths tons, at a velocity of around 1,250 feet per second, to a distance of up to 9,500 yards. Craters left by this work of art were on average thirty-eight feet wide, and thirteen feet deep.

More detail would be present, if not for the 250 block limit, which on a gun twenty times the size of the starting chainguns, is rather restrictive, and is why the wires for powered traversing of the gun via electric motors, and a few extra rods are not present, as well as some features not having the proper shape.

Size ten variant in a 360 degree capable emplacement, to pay homage to one of the two guns sharing the largest caliber ever made(the better one, more specifically).
