	French 100 mm naval gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern French 100 mm naval guns are multipurpose artillery pieces (anti-air, anti-ship, ground), capable of a high rate of fire.
		The ammunition is stoked underneath the turret, and fed to the gun by a lift regularly manned by two crew.
		The gun itself is sealed by a rubber tampion (muzzle plug), which can be shot through in case of emergency.

		By cross referencing the total number of guns firing by the Firing Factor on the Gunnery Chart, the Crew and Damage points inflicted on the target vessel are obtained (top number), the lower number (in brackets) is the number of guns destroyed.
		Guns are set two millimetres apart, each two millimetres section is worth ten points if open, 30 points if earth and 40 points if stone.

	French Navy moves to Durban
		Two French Navy ships, the Floreal class small patrol frigate FNS Nivose (F732) and the L’audacieuse class offshore patrol boat FNS La Boudeuse (P683) will arrive in Durban on Friday (11 April) for a short visit.
		The class is designed for offshore patrol duties, in particular sea fisheries and is built to commercial standards, making them inexpensive to operate and man. Power comes in the form of four diesel engines driving two shafts and producing 8,800 bhp for a speed of 20 knots.
		The vessel is lightly but adequately armed for its designed purpose with a 40mm and a 20mm gun as well as two 12.7mm machine guns and carries a crew of 24 with accommodation for 20 passengers.

		Towed guns don't always carry one, and their tires go flat also (even though a UK T& E (test & evaluation) version had foam-filled tires not needing to be checked for proper inflation..
		But the guns still retained all their components to be set onto the ground and used as standard towed guns.
		The same principle is used in artillery, also: watch an M109 series SP gun fire: the gun recoils a considerable length as opposed to an Abrams tank, because the lighter hull of the Paladin must "draw out" the recoil in a longer run to handle it.

		A 25mm AA gun was also produced in parallel with the 40mm and was similarly known as the m/32.
		The 57mm guns were produced in two versions after the war; a powerful land (m/54) and naval (SAK 57) AA gun (still in production as a naval gun) and a much less powerful aircraft gun, the m/47.
		Some of the weapons fitted to ships were virtually identical (they were just the army guns on a naval mounting), but the proper naval versions had water-cooled barrels to enable sustained fire, and they were fitted in multi-gun mountings.

	T54/T55 Main Battle Tank
		The layout of the T-54 is conventional, with the main armament comprising a 100mm rifled gun.
		In addition the gunner’s primary sight is slaved to the main gun, which does not allow the gunner to acquire targets in a hull-down posture.
		Although the half-egg shaped turret of the T-55 has good ballistic qualities, it provides cramped working conditions for the crew, resulting in a slow rate of fire; and the protection afforded by its low silhouette (1 meter lower than the M60) is counterbalanced by its poor armor protection which is thin by western standards.

		The mounting is fed from separate port and starboard magazines and uses three different rounds: a high-explosive shell with an impact fuze; an anti-aircraft shell using an electronic fuze; and an inert practice round.
		The A-190(E) gun is also superior to the AK-100 gun (fitted in the Delhi Class) in terms of basic performance characteristics: the rate of fire (approximately 1.5 times); accuracy (about three times); weight; dimensions; and operating characteristics.
		The gun also features higher automation of fire preparation and control and employs advanced guided and rocket-assisted long-range and enhanced-lethality projectiles fitted with dual-mode impact / proximity fuses set to operate over the target area.

		The gun is controlled by the Chinese-made TR47C fire-control radar and an electro-optic director, both mounted on the roof of the gun turret.
		The basic variant Type 054 was armed with a single-barrel 100mm gun installed on the bow deck, but this was replaced by a 76mm gun on the improved Type 054A.

		The Paris Gun, however, was a direct ancestor of the both the German WWII V-3 and the HARP guns and so is covered here (as on the Astronautics and Apocalypse sites).
		There were three guns emplaced around paris (see map) and they fired 351 rounds, of which only a few did any major damage, but even though they were almost impossible to aim precisely and only fired a 7Kg (15½#) warhead, they did manage to kill 256 souls and wound 620.
		A workable 1926 concept by rocket pioneers Max Valier and Hermann Oberth for a version of the Verne gun, with multiple combustion chambers, to be emplaced in a tall mountain and which, as modified by Willy Ley and Baron von Pirquet in 1929, would form the basis for the WWII V-3.

	Model of the Russian Mendelejev 170-ton Tank of 1915
		Mendelejevs background sure showed: the "Armoured Land Cruiser" he proposed in 1915 used heavy armoured plating, evidently of the kind used on war ships (150-100mm thick), an engine from a submarine (the whole thing had a vague submarine-ish look) and a 120mm Naval gun.
		Had it ever been used on anything less than pretty flat and firm terrain, it would probably have faced the same destiny as som many french S:t Chamonds: it would have got stuck: the trench crossing capacity would have been nearly nil.
		The Green colour scheme is the one seen on many Russian AFV:s at the time, but is purely conjuncture: but then again, no one knows how it would have looked, if it had ever been built and deployed.
