Talk:.440 Artillery

Would this be .440 artillery? I thought it was 440mm Artillery, in line with the modern system for classifying artillery peices. --Darkfire27983 22:55, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

No, it's gotta be 440mm. StAraqiel 03:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

HELL, NO! a 440mm Artillery gun is WAY larger than a 20 millimeter, which is already an mounted artillery piece, seen in the movie, Saving Private Ryan (No, User: Ryanngreenday... not you). --B le mo 23  http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS • SERVICE RECORD 03:41, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

440mm is insanly large. Considering most modern artillery guns use 200-120mm. Maybe if it was a mortar, which i doubt. Chances are, its .440 --Ajax 013 15:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I would normally not think it was 440mm, but the way it shook the ground made it seem to me to be a massive explosive. I honestly don't know, just a theory I was wondering on. I allways get a little confused by calibers. Darkfire27983 22:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

While I was reading up on the Iowa class Battleship, I came across the size of the 16 inch main battery, which is 406mm in size. 440mm wouldnt be that much of a stretch for 500 years in the future, although I would doubt it to be a very mobile artillery piece, it still seems plausible that it could be 440mm,Darkfire27983 13:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Pieces that big on the ground are impossible,unless they are mortars, which is doubtful, you only find them on ships because of the reason they are not on the ground. --Ajax 013 16:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
