Karl-Gerät

"Yikes! That Karl-Gerät must've been trying to destroy my village! Even for my country! Literally! I won't let this thing destroy my home!!!"

--Su Ji-Hoon, Mörser Karl

"Karl-Gerät" (040/041) (German literally "Karl-device"), also known as Mörser Karl, is a World War II German self-propelled siege mortar (Mörser) designed and built by Rheinmetall. Its heaviest munition was a 60 cm (24 in) diameter, 2,170 kg (4,780 lb) shell, and the range for its lightest shell of 1,250 kg (2,760 lb) was just over 10 km (6.2 mi). Each gun had to be accompanied by a crane, a heavy transport trailer, and several modified tanks to carry shells.
