A WWII German "Schwerer Gustav" Rail Gun. The two built,Gustav and Dora, fired 800mm guns that shot shells weighing seven tonnes up to 23 miles. Both were destroyed before the wars end.

    actually a test was performed to see if a rail-gun can shoot to the moon.unfortunately the shell lost velocity after exiting the earth's atmosphere.a new test hasn't been performed because of how expensive it is to replace the rail on the rail-gun. BTW i voted up. i wonder if it would be possible to build a rail-gun in space so the the rail doesn't overheat.whats the temp in space anyway?

    the rail guns we may or may not have now will shoot a shell at 1.5 miles per second... and we could shoot the moon with 1 so............
