The Paris Gun: The Longest-Range Gun of World War I
The Paris Gun was a German long-range artillery piece that was used to bombard Paris during World War I. It was the largest gun of the war, with a barrel length of 34 meters and a range of over 120 kilometers. The gun was able to fire shells weighing up to 125 kilograms, and its shells could reach Paris in just over two minutes.
The Paris Gun was first used on March 23, 1918, and it continued to bombard Paris until August of that year. During that time, it fired over 300 shells, killing 256 people and wounding 629.
The Paris Gun was a technological marvel, but it was not a very effective weapon. The shells it fired were not very accurate, and they did not cause a significant amount of damage to Paris. However, the gun did have a significant impact on French morale. The shelling of Paris was a constant reminder of the threat of German invasion, and it helped to fuel the French desire to win the war.
