It blew up buildings.

Downside is that its got something like 5 rounds of ammo.

Bah I'd still like to hurl spigot rounds from the Churchhill AVRE.  

The SPROOOING sound would not be unlike the Stuka's dive siren, a terror weapon.

5 rounds or 10 what is more interesting is how the fit reloading mechanics in that thing???? Also I doubt that such caliber could be used for more than 60-100 shots.......

Well - it was 14 rounds, reloading - I'm not an engineer but I could draft you a thing that would work and it was not actually shells it fired but rockets hence longer barrel life... Whew - was it a long sentence or what?

No, weren't rockets, but adapted depth charges.

The thing was a naval Dept charge projector, not a gun, so barrel life was a concept not to apply to this monster's weapon.

I think some were used in Italy.
