The Paris Gun was the name of an artillery piece with which the Germans bombarded Paris during World War I. Also called the "Kaiser Wilhelm Geschütz" (Kaiser Wilhelm Gun), it is often confused with Big Bertha, the howitzer used by the Germans against the Liège forts in 1914, and indeed the French called it by this name as well. It is also confused with the smaller "Langer Max" (Long Max) cannons from which it was derived. Although the famous Krupp-family artillery makers produced all these guns, the resemblance ended there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Gun Jul 24 06, 8:00 AM

The Second World War saw the final use of the railway gun, with the massive Schwerer Gustav 800 mm gun, the largest artillery gun to be fired in anger, deployed by Germany. The rise of the aeroplane effectively ended the railway gun, which like the battleship, was massive and expensive and easily destroyed from the air. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_gun Jul 24 06, 8:19 AM
