 ==== Obusier de 520 modèle 1916 ====
-During World War I, the French created the Obusier de 520 train cannon. However, due to a sluggish acquisition process, the first gun did not reach the trails until late 1917, when a shell detonated prematurely and destroyed it. The second gun was constructed in 1918 but did not complete trials before the war ended, therefore it was stored. The Obusier de 520 modèle 1916 had a range of nearly 8 miles and fired a 520mm projectile weighing over 3600 pounds. When Germany invaded France in 1940, the last gun was being refurbished for action when it was taken by the Germans while still in the workshop.

 ==== BL 18 inch Mk I Naval Gun ====
-During World War I, the British 18 inch Mk I was conceived and manufactured, and it was installed on the HMS Furious. The Furious, on the other hand, was transformed during construction, and two of its three turrets were installed on two Lord Clive-class monitors. Despite being slightly smaller than the later Japanese Type 94, the Mk I's shell weighed more - 3320 pounds. The guns were used late in the war, with one shelling a railway bridge in August 1918 and the other firing ahead of advancing forces in October 1918. A third gun was also built, although it was never used during the war. [([[http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_18-40_mk1.php|navweaps]])]
