World's Most Powerful Supergun 'Can Obliterate Targets From 100 Miles' -- The Telegraph
The most powerful gun in the world has been tested at a US Navy firing range.
The "supergun" can destroy a target from 100 miles away using a bullet that fires at five times the speed of sound.
The shot fired at the Naval Surface Warfare Centre in Dahigren, Virginia generated 33 megajoules of force out of the barrel.
This is the highest amount ever measured for muzzle energy - the kinetic energy of a bullet as it is expelled from a firearm - and more than three times that previously recorded in January 2008.
