supergun
Oversized ballistic weapon
A supergun is an exceptionally large artillery piece designed to fire projectiles over extraordinary distances.
The term typically refers to ambitious military projects like the Nazi-era V-3 cannon or Saddam Hussein's "Project Babylon," which aimed to build a gun capable of launching satellites or striking distant targets.
Most supergun projects have been abandoned or destroyed before completion.
