Siegfried would have a barrel **********long with a one meter bore. The launch tube would be 30 cm thick at the breech, tapering to 6.5 cm at the exit. Like the V-3 the gun would be built in segments. 44, ********long sections would make up the barrel, totaling 1510 tons. Added to this would be ****, 220 ton recoil cylinders, and the 165 ton breech. The recoil force of the gun would be 27,000 tons - equivalent to a nuclear bomb and sufficient to register as a major seismic event all around the world. Nine tons of special supergun propellant would fire a ***kg projectile over a range of 1,000 kilometers. More than one of these guns would be built. It would take about 30 minutes to rotate side-to-side from 150 degrees, to 90 degrees. So, from left side to right side, 1 hour, left side, or right side to the center (center a.k.a 90degrees) 30 minutes. The barrel can rise from 30 degrees to 60 degrees.
