15 KiloTon cannon. Only 20 were built and supposedly only one fired. They are only a legend as far as I know. C00n is getting ready to prove me wrong.

here is a good link for the inof on the atomic cannon, there are 8 that survived out of the 20 built, the one we have at apg is the only one that is complete, ours is virtually drivable. talk about pure diesel power, this thing has 2 complete tractors to mobilize it.

Atomic? Where they made to shoot a atomic bomb with gun powder or did they use a atomic explosion to shoot a shell? Or was atomic cannon just a nick name and they had nothing to do with nukes?

They could shoot a 15 KiloTon atomic bomb approx. 7 miles. That is the same size we dropped on Hiroshima. IIRC
