All for naught, as even if it had been set up, it would have stuck out like a whore in church on a satellite image.

That's one of the guns that Gerald Bull was developing, right?

 

[Medvedya]

As far as I remember, it was a company called Matrix Churchill.

Where did the design come from originally, I know it was not Iraqs?

 

[Medvedya]

One way or another people in the Coalition nations created it.

What I can't understand is how Matrix Churchill honestly thought they'd get away with it, and how the Iraqis imagined that having built the gun, how they were going to hide it from the West - most notable the Israelis, who would simply launch an air strike to blow it up.

thats right Evan not long after he got started on the project Mosad topped him he did a lot of development work using two navel 15inch guns linked end to end

It is difficult sometimes to decide what exactly is deadly equipment and what isn't. I can remember going to a website where they talked about keyring knives and all sorts of things. The mundane can hide a deadly secret. Also if you look at most oil field pictures, the pipe pictured looks to be roughly the right size for use at a high-capacity oil-field. Also, the pieces were probably being shipped separately and in different lots. Guns can apparently be mail-order from certain websites. Although that is not something to be encouraged, it rather gets across the picture I am painting of dangerous or innocent object?

I just dont see how anyone could hide such a thing. It was quite obvious what it was. The other thing is WHY? There are so many better, more accurate, cheaper, and better concealable weapons out there.

Saddam wanted a very, very big gun - maybe there was some kinda compensating thing going on there?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Must have been little penis syndrome.

 

[Medvedya]

That's what I'm thinking - the bigger the gun.......

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Well either way, he never got to use it.

Why??

 

[lesofprimus]

No idea why... Maybe hussars had an epifany or someting... Either way, its a dead thread...

 

[102first_hussars]

For me its still hard to tell if the threads are dead or not, the way the site used to be the first thing i could see was when the last post was made

 

[lesofprimus]
