Talk:Four-forty

Was the calibre size specifically in millimeters, or could it use the Imperial system? 440mm seems way too large for just a piece of artillery.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  03:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The Paris Gun from world war one use a 210 mm shell. So since this is 500+ years in the future I can't find it hard to have a gun like that. --KDP3 00:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

And upon examination, I notice that the Paris Gun was actually a failure. But that wasn't my only point. Was it a specific figure, or just an estimate? And which measurement system was it in, if it was specific?  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  03:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I just checked Ghosts of Onyx, and all I can find is a reference to "Four-Forties". No calibre. Is anyone going to hunt me down and disembowel me if I rename it to Four Forty Artillery?  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  04:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Is it possible that when the Marines call it a Four-Forty, it's a direct translation to the size, making it 4.40mm. Still small for artilery, but again if the driver of the shot was powerful enough, it's possible. User:Merc 354

Should this article be merged with .440 Artillery?

 * doesnt .440 seems a bit small for artillery
 * the explosions were big enough to make them wonder if it was an archer missile, either way it was a big explosion

Both are true. Unless it was a railgun, in which case it is the speed, rather than the size, of the projectile that gives it its force.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  00:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Looking at this the wrong way?
Well, we're assuming that 440 refers to round size. What if it is the model number? PumasAreReal My PageMy EditsMy Movie
