Too bag Gerald Bull, that guy Saddam hired in the 80's to make the "Big Gun" couldn't be around for an entry.

His gun fired a shell the size of a 55 gallon barrell around 150 miles. The gun was very gentile to the projectile because it used progressive charges down the length of the gun, something like ten firings to accelerate the projectile. I bet Bull's gun could chunk a pumpkin from maryland to Pittsburgh.

The one problem with guns like that is that the pumpkin must leave the barrell intact.

just out of curiosity, I wonder how fast a pumpkin can travel before disintegrating due to wind resistance

"The gun was very gentile to the projectile"

I'm glad the gun was very gentile, especially since Bull was killed by the Mossad.
