What is the most powerful (real) weapon you have ever fired?

[Dinner]

I've been standing next to an M1 tank when it fired and I've been around loads of arty and mortar fire. I've also had the unfortunate experience of being shot at by AK-47s, an RPG-7, and my vehicle got hit with shrapnel from a 82mm mortar round.

9mm
.45
M-16
M-4
AR-20
AK-47
M60 (one of my favorites)
.50 machine gun
M-14
25mm cannon

And for the win...

5" 54 Caliber Naval Rifle
SM2 Standard Missle
Harpoon

No Tomahawks yet, but maybe in the future.

I dunno. The Harpoon may be the winner over a TOW but only if you were standing right beside it when you fired it

to clarify - at the battle of okinawa - the AA weapons were fired in battle - I suppose they fired the 5 inch gun in training, or whatever.

Negative shipmate.

The Fletcher-class destroyer had five 5" guns all linked to what was at the time the most advanced fire control/radar suite in existance. All guns fired from by the direction of a single gunnery officer from that suite, though the turrets were manned in case of a malfunction.

These guns were used to good effect at Okinawa and other islands, some destroyers actually aproaching the coast untill the keels were scraping the bottom to get a better shot. The USS Hoel and USS Hermann were are two ships at Okinawa that did this

You really wouldn't want to be right next too it or bad things happen, but I did push the firing trigger from the equipment room which is just forward of the launchers.

I always knew you English were evil! It wasn't just chance that all of the Imperials had English accents.

A lie to distract you from the truth. You see Corasont (sp?), that's Docklands in 50 years time
