Description This gun featured a 1,000 mm bore and was designed with the intentions of long range shelling, satellite launching, and attacking orbiting satellites. It had a range of 1,000 km and was presumbably WMD capable.
The designer of the gun, Gerald Bull, was assassinated in 1990, presumbably by the Israeli Mossad, effectively bringing the project to a halt.
The gun parts were manufactured in Western countries, where the people making it thought they were making pipeline segments. After the First Gulf War, inspectors destroyed the gun prototype, though it is unknown if there were any others in production.
