Summary
| Description |
English: The Dardanelles Gun : is a siege gun dating from soon after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. It is cast in bronze and was made in two parts: the barrel which holds the shot and the chamber which holds the charge. The two parts screw together and there is a ring of sockets at the ends of each section, these take levers to facilitate screwing and unscrewing the parts.
Overall length is 5.2 m and it weighs 16.8 tonnes. It fires a stone ball of about 300 kg some 1600 m. The rate of fire was very slow - about 15 rounds per day. Currently in the Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson, Portsmouth, England.Deutsch: Das Dardanellengeschütz ist ein osmanisches Belagerungsgeschütz aus Bronze aus der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts. Es ist das größte und schwerste erhaltene Geschütz dieser Zeit und befindet sich in der Ausstellung der Royal Armouries in Hampshire.
Das zweiteilige Rohr hat ein Gewicht von 16,8 t bei einer Gesamtlänge von 518 cm und einer Kammerlänge von 215 cm. Es konnte Kugeln von 63 cm Durchmesser und 340 kg Gewicht verschießen. Zum einfacheren Transport und zur Ladung sind Lauf und Kammer durch eine Schraubverbindung trennbar. Dabei war die gegossene Schraubverbindung so exakt gearbeitet, dass sie gasdicht abschloss. |
