  • The Paris gun or Paris-Geschütz were long range artillery guns designed to bombard Paris during World War 1.
    It had the distinction of being the highest range projectile fired during WW1. The gun pushed artillery technology to the limit and the shells reached stratospheric altitudes to cover such long distances. Little was known about the technology since the guns and plans were destroyed. However the engineer's notes were discovered by Gerald Bull 70 years later.

    I’ve just found this channel, and it’s really fantastic. Each video, while short, clearly has a lot of effort and love put into each one. Not only that but it’s to the point and says everything important about a specific topic - not getting sidetracked halfway through. You’ve earned a sub, keep it up.

    That last part about Gerald Bull finding the notes is an interesting point, for those who don't know, he was one of the lead men in the idea of a Spacegun, using a cannon to launch payloads into orbit, and worked with the US Government, and later for Saddam's government, to pursue that objective.

    Fascinating ballistics engineering of the day. I didn't know only portions of the barrel were rifled. Also, there were actually three Paris Guns. I think at least one exploded, killing most of the crew. Achieving muzzle velocity of over 5400 fps is staggering. I'd like to know what the breech pressure was. The max range was about 75 miles, since that's the closest they could get the guns to Paris. The Germans have always been fascinated by big guns.

    For example the idea of the tank is called a motor-geschütz (motor-cannon?) or that Paris Geschütz could be called a Paris Cannon

    Why not just rifle the barrel in two halves? If one half is rifled, why not rifle the other half? It would probably take a while to get the rifling to match, but i guess that they could design something to help.
