    1 pixel is equal to 1 meter.

    @steder, I'd say pretty darn big. A crane with a large counterweight is being used to load shells.

    Alright, so, since the weapon is firing upwards, and considering the position of the gun itself, it would PROBABLY be fine. Probably. At the very most it would ram itself into the ground, but it could probably survive that.

    This is a Railcannon. It uses magnetic feilds to accelerate the projectiles.

    Since the ammo are not missles they must be pushed by another force
