I remember being told at the time that those big guns could fire a projectile the size of a VW beetle 26 miles inland and have it impact within 100 ft.of it's target.

I quoted this same fact once and was corrected by some people who told me that the projectile was the same weight as a VW beetle.

LOL! I've heard that now and then.

Think of it as a compacted VW beetle.
