I ride and support the Tour of Honor. This little park has a Huey and a Gold Star Memorial. I was about to leave when I noticed the 40mm naval cannons. I wasn’t able to get as good of a picture as I wanted due to the two anchors that are positioned around the cannons.
Since these are usually mounted on battleships, I don’t know if this actually meets the requirements of the challenge. I’ll leave the post up anyway, I learned a lot about this.
SCORERS: DO NOT LOOK BEYOND THIS POINT
What I learned, Dual cannons can fire about 120-160 rounds per minute PER BARREL! We are talk 4 to 5 rounds total per second! Also, an effective range of 4,000 yards (2 1/4 miles!). Truly an FAFO weapon!
Now I understand why God doesn’t want me to win the lottery. This and a tank. I’ll just keep riding the Harley, BMW, and Spyder.
