Photos Surface Of The Army’s Crazy 1,000 Mile Range Supergun Concept: Here’s What We Know
The U.S. Army recently, and apparently inadvertently, offered a look at new concept art and models relating to a massive artillery piece that could have a range of 1,000 miles or more. The design concept has features that are reminiscent of the Cold War-era efforts such as the Army’s M65 “Atomic Annie” 280mm cannon and the modified 16-inch naval gun employed in the U.S.-Canadian High Altitude Research Project, or HARP. It also has a general look that wouldn’t be out of place in the G.I. Joe universe.
