RobRez 1,895 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 It didn't really fire those cannon balls. Actually the Russians were pioneers in the Human Canonball acts back in the earlier Circus days. It looks very much like the one Gonzo was shot out of on the Muppet show.

Stacks 42 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 In Russian, Tsar translates to cartoonishly oversized. Check out the Tsar Bomba: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Lemon 157 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Tsar just means king. The cannon is sweet though. They need to mass produce them for export 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo One 5 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 "A replica of the cannon was made in 2002 at the Izhevsk machine-building factory. It was given to the Ukrainian city of Donetsk and now is installed near the Donetsk city administration building." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Pushka Yes, that is correct. Izhevsk Machine Building Plant IS Izhmash. And you know a cannon is massive when it is "installed". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrThunder88 912 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I think somebody was trying to compensate for certain inadequacies… Maybe somebody else is suffering from pushka envy. That is a ridiculously huge gun. It's less of a "field gun" and more of a "theater gun". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
