You missed the oldest of canons. The Dardanelles Gun was cast in bronze in 1464 by Munir Ali with a weight of 16.8 t and a length of 518 cm, being capable of firing stone balls of up to 63 cm diameter (over 25 inches).[1] The powder chamber and the barrel are connected by the way of a screw mechanism, allowing easier transport of the unwieldy device.
I remember in Breaking Bad that Walt was talking to Jesse about this Nazi supergun that was so strong and powerful that an air raid couldn't stop it. The only way to stop it was one man and a bag of thermite. I don't know if it was the Gustav gun or something else, but whatever it was, it was an incredible feat, no matter what country made it.
Probably not, Gustav (and all rail-guns like it) were actually incredibly prone to something like air raids because it was so massive and had to be moved on rails, so there was almost no way of hiding it. What kept the planes away were the anti-aircraft measures that escorted it.
It was called schwerer Gustav (heavy Gustav, not Gustav Heavy) Gustav is a German name. Also keep in mind that Bertha is a German name, therefore the th is pronounced like a t followed by an h because the than language hasn't the rule to pronounce "th" different than the two letters themselves
The one gun that probably should have been on this list was the gun used to start World War One, it was a Browning FN pistol that killed Arch Duke Ferdinand and his wife Sophia. Ironic thing was the man, Gavrilo Princip, who shot the Arch Duke and his wife was someone rejected for military service and who originally thought the attempt by his comrades had failed until the Duke's car pulled down the wrong alley where Gavrilo Princip was ordering a sandwich. He saw the Arch Duke and came out shooting
Im German, he didnt had a bullet proof vest. There were no such things at that time. BUT he had 2 thick Upper Cloaks and a pieces of fine Silk Shirt, which the slowed Bullet couldnt get thru...
I'm surprised you didn't include the huge siege cannon built by Orban for the Ottoman sultan Mehmet II, which the latter used to breach the walls of Constantinople.
Were the Big Bertha guns ever used against allied trenches during WWI? It seems like they would have been fairly useful at opening up gaps in the lines before an offensive. Just curious.
I would have included Atomic Annie, the only artillery piece to fire an atomic warhead! It was intended to be used in a tactical role on a battlefield!
"Bismarck became paranoid after the attempt, especially after a second attempt" ... Yeah if people try to kill you twice I don't think paranoia is the right word for any form of protection he deemed necessary.
hey man, and I have only been here a few minutes and then every went white and it felt like 2nd. . I am a beautiful and I wonder what it takes a lot more. I only had one of my own personal injury lawyer statutes and the other day. I only found out that I have been in a hazmat suit and tie.
No mention of Atomic Annie? A piece of artillery that was designed to fire a nuclear shell? Granted, if was (thankfully) never fired in anger but neither was the quaker gun, to be fair.
wasn't Project Babylon originally an idea of the 3rd Reich? I belive they built them underground though if I recall correctly. they used a sequence of timed explosions to propel the shell. don't think they ever got the timing right but they were similar in length. great video as always. for all the damn top 10's on RUclips, you guys are the best, thank you!
BUT! It is more commonly known as bulletproof, so even though that is wrong, more people understand it. Also, in the context of the video, it didnt really make a difference, as it was bullet resistant enough to stop the shots fired at Bismarck.
One gun missing is the FN M1910, used to assassinate Arch Duke Ferdinand in Sarajevo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Model_1910 Not a particularly powerful gun, but many of the later ones would not have existed without it.
Maybe more research next time, why "Gustav schwerer"? Schwer means heavy and so the gun obviously was called "schwerer Gustav" ( heavy Gustav) and not "Gustav heavy" . Its even shown in the first pic of nr. 2
That's not a M1891 Carcano, it's a M1938 Fucile Corto. The basic design of the WW2 era Carcano unchanged in same manner the basic design of the German K98 (standard WW2 Geerman rifle) was unchanged since 1898, and the prolific M1903 and M1903A3 Springfields unchanged since 1903. (While M-1 Garand commonly associated with US in WW2, a large number of US troops armed with Springfields for bulk of War, some combat troops actually not getting M-1 until 1944.)
The Carcano rifle Lee Oswald supposedly shot Kennedy with was not open sighted as your video demonstration shows. It had a 4X scope attached to it the FBI said was missing an attachment shem, which made it impossible to align for an accurate shot. The rifle was found on the 6th floor storage room shots were heard from. I won't even go into the fact Oswald was first seen 90 seconds after the last shot was fired in the 2nd floor break room, drinking a Coke. We know this because a Dallas police officer and Book Depository Supervisor saw him there. It's all in the Warren Report.
I have about 38 rifles, pistols and shotguns in my collection. All are basic firearms, none are "rare" by any means but about 20 I purchased and the rest were left to me by 2 grandfathers, my dad and a few just wound up with me when relatives died and wives knew I "collected" and had a big Gun Safe so they were given to me by relatives who didn't want guns just laying around their house. My son has about a dozen guns and when I pass on my guns will go to him, making his collection go up to around 50 guns. Only in America, huh? Gun haters must hate the millions of guys like me who casually collect massive amounts of firearms throughout their life. When I married my wife told me I could buy one gun a year, no questions or arguing required. Some years I didn't even pick up a gun or my collection would be about 8 to 10 more guns than it is. I haven't hunted since I turned about 50 but working Law Enforcement since I was 21 I still shoot my pistols regularly.
If 2 people try to kill you. YOUR NOT PARANOID!
thanks
911LexVegas YOU'RE welcome😜
"Schwerer Gustav" ("Heavy Gustav") is the correct name for your No. 2. "Schwerer" is not a surname: you shouldn't have turned it around.
You forgot atomic Annie. The atomic cannon at fort sill Oklahoma!
You missed the oldest of canons. The Dardanelles Gun was cast in bronze in 1464 by Munir Ali with a weight of 16.8 t and a length of 518 cm, being capable of firing stone balls of up to 63 cm diameter (over 25 inches).[1] The powder chamber and the barrel are connected by the way of a screw mechanism, allowing easier transport of the unwieldy device.
Yep, I was thinking of this too. As I recall the siege gun was used at Constantinople/Istanbul.
I remember in Breaking Bad that Walt was talking to Jesse about this Nazi supergun that was so strong and powerful that an air raid couldn't stop it. The only way to stop it was one man and a bag of thermite. I don't know if it was the Gustav gun or something else, but whatever it was, it was an incredible feat, no matter what country made it.
ginnrollins211 you are talking about the rangers assault of the Point du Hoc Battery between Omaha and Utah Beaches on D-Day (06/06/1944)
Probably not, Gustav (and all rail-guns like it) were actually incredibly prone to something like air raids because it was so massive and had to be moved on rails, so there was almost no way of hiding it. What kept the planes away were the anti-aircraft measures that escorted it.
Never used in combat, the Little David is worthy of mention.
i literally cant live without this and the Today i found out channels since i found them.
That picture of Oswald didn't "surface in 2005" did it? I thought it'd been part of the discussion since as far back as the Warren Commission.
happy new year everyone i hope you have a great day
Cool video thank you for posting it
It was called schwerer Gustav (heavy Gustav, not Gustav Heavy) Gustav is a German name. Also keep in mind that Bertha is a German name, therefore the th is pronounced like a t followed by an h because the than language hasn't the rule to pronounce "th" different than the two letters themselves
Gustav Schwerer is not the correct name. Schwerer means "the heavy". Like dicke in "Dicke Berta", it means "Heavy Gustav"
The Carcano rifle that Oswald used was the M1938 variation of the Carcano platform.
The one gun that probably should have been on this list was the gun used to start World War One, it was a Browning FN pistol that killed Arch Duke Ferdinand and his wife Sophia. Ironic thing was the man, Gavrilo Princip, who shot the Arch Duke and his wife was someone rejected for military service and who originally thought the attempt by his comrades had failed until the Duke's car pulled down the wrong alley where Gavrilo Princip was ordering a sandwich.

Im German,
he didnt had a bullet proof vest. There were no such things at that time.
BUT he had 2 thick Upper Cloaks and a pieces of fine Silk Shirt, which the slowed Bullet couldnt get thru...
I thought the Gustav gun would be number 1 (insert popular meme). THAT THING IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great video keep it up
You could probably do a solid list of all the times phony guns were used to win a battle.
Hey Simon make a list of the top10 aces of all time from ww1 and wwa2 pilots
I'm surprised you didn't include the huge siege cannon built by Orban for the Ottoman sultan Mehmet II, which the latter used to breach the walls of Constantinople.
In the U.S. Army there were 105 mm cannons 155 mm howitzers named Betsy. The name was always painted on the sides of it
Atomic Annie should be here
Hey toptenz you forget the fn model 1910 handgun the gun that was used in the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand
TheGroundedAviator Can you think of a weapons he forgot
Rob Dunne The Charter Arms Bulldog used too murder John Lennon?
AR-15 should make the list too it's the most common rifle used in America's mass shootings
What about the Little David mortar that was famous
#1 absolute genius
Your videos are interesting
these guns should be used on celebrations. Happy New Year
Were the Big Bertha guns ever used against allied trenches during WWI? It seems like they would have been fairly useful at opening up gaps in the lines before an offensive. Just curious.

"Bismarck became paranoid after the attempt, especially after a second attempt" ... Yeah if people try to kill you twice I don't think paranoia is the right word for any form of protection he deemed necessary.
Methinks Germany enjoyed shooting big guns at paris a bit much.
I follow Top Tenz and Today I found out. Truly love the vids. and hope you keep it up for 2017.
I expected the Thompson submachine gun to be on this list.
How about the Thompson gun, the gun that John Wilkes Booth used to end Lincoln's life and most importantly the Kalashnikov AK-47 !
My biceps are notorious guns.
Notoriously nonexistent.
hey man, and I have only been here a few minutes and then every went white and it felt like 2nd. . I am a beautiful and I wonder what it takes a lot more. I only had one of my own personal injury lawyer statutes and the other day. I only found out that I have been in a hazmat suit and tie.
Joel Garcia Vasquez are you drunk or high?
Ooh, I like the little purple bit that slides over with Director and Host at the end. V posh.
top 10 facts about *Senran Kagura!*
I liked this video for the title alone
No mention of Atomic Annie? A piece of artillery that was designed to fire a nuclear shell? Granted, if was (thankfully) never fired in anger but neither was the quaker gun, to be fair.
*Senran Kagura!* You recently made a video about samurai. So now make a top ten facts about *Senran Kagura!*
there is one more long gun in Jaipur fort ,add that one in this list too.
I was expecting something related to the new year!
Number 3 the paris gun number 2 the same thing just built later and easier to relod just harder to setup and protect
U actually mentioned Kentucky and its capital, thank you
The so called Project Babylon gun was nothing new. Germans had the same/similar type of gun called the V3
88mm better be on here.
wasn't Project Babylon originally an idea of the 3rd Reich? I belive they built them underground though if I recall correctly. they used a sequence of timed explosions to propel the shell. don't think they ever got the timing right but they were similar in length. great video as always. for all the damn top 10's on RUclips, you guys are the best, thank you!
SmOki Namron that's the V3 rocket program. I believe that's what you're talking about.
There's not such thing as a bulletproof vest 😒
Lil Ranger64 indeed, there is only bullet-resistant
There's such thing as "Bullet RESISTANT"but not "Bullet PROOF"
BUT!
It is more commonly known as bulletproof, so even though that is wrong, more people understand it.
Also, in the context of the video, it didnt really make a difference, as it was bullet resistant enough to stop the shots fired at Bismarck.
Don’t think Gustov was used in Warsaw. Only once at Sabastopol.
One gun missing is the FN M1910, used to assassinate Arch Duke Ferdinand in Sarajevo
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Model_1910
Not a particularly powerful gun, but many of the later ones would not have existed without it.
I used to think number 2 was fake
What about the gun used by Mehmed II during the siege of Constantinople?
The Tsar Cannon
Maybe more research next time, why "Gustav schwerer"? Schwer means heavy and so the gun obviously was called "schwerer Gustav" ( heavy Gustav) and not "Gustav heavy" . Its even shown in the first pic of nr. 2
Deniz Aray It even is in the Articel he shows after xD
Really, Gustav Schwerer? "Schwerer Gustav" means "heavy Gustav" in German and symbolized the gun as the "bigger brother" of the Dicke Bertha.
Gustav is in call of duty world war 2
That's not a M1891 Carcano, it's a M1938 Fucile Corto. The basic design of the WW2 era Carcano unchanged in same manner the basic design of the German K98 (standard WW2 Geerman rifle) was unchanged since 1898, and the prolific M1903 and M1903A3 Springfields unchanged since 1903. (While M-1 Garand commonly associated with US in WW2, a large number of US troops armed with Springfields for bulk of War, some combat troops actually not getting M-1 until 1944.)
How about the Swamp Angel!!!!
Is that where that saying comes from. Come on Betsy.
what about John Wilkes booths derringer?
Im curious why not the V3, Germany's railgun
You said, "the war to end all wars" at 7:10, but WWII was not named that, it was WWI.
snivithefox
He said WWI.
GUSTAV!!!
**Earrape Thomas the Tank Engine Theme starts playing**
Where's the Tsar gun?
how about the cannon that destroyed Constantinople
didn't mention the v3 ?
Schwerer Gustav, not Gustav Schwerer!
i loved #1 😂
What about the Karl gerat?
“FAMOUS GUNS.”
And the v3
oh i thought this was about guns. not imaginary guns. oops
Of course, the second "Betsy" you showed is a percussion weapon. Did you really say "most maddest"?
And nothing about the gun witch conquered Constantinopole.

What abot the Great Cannons used in the siege of Constantinople in 1453 by the Ottomans?
What about hitlers super cannon?

TopTenz it´s named Schwerer Gustav not Gustav Schwerer
800kg is 8 tenths of a ton not 9
Happy new year everyone :)

Cohen-BLIND (pronounce short -''blind'. Not ''blind as in not able to see''!!)
Ive seen mons meg.
plezzzz have metric system to. Most of the world use it!
And then comes captain Kirk who makes a real gun out of a log.
The predecessor to the Iraqi supergun, project HAARP should have been no 1. It could almost get a shell into space and was tested multiple times.
What about the Tommy gun?
what about it? Its just a standard issued ww2 gun
Nomadikray it was a significant gun because it was involved in many crimes, and thefts'.
The guns featured in this video are famous (or infamous) individual guns not famous makes of guns (such as the Tommy Gun)
Blind should have gone for the head
So... what you're saying is that German Engineering is actually a thing hahaha....
Oswald shot JFK (and officer J.D. Tippit) - LOL!!!! Sure he did.
someone needs to tighten his Tin-foil hat.....
