Just watched this as well. Also caught that...

1 - it was never used in anger;
2 - which was good, because the life expectancy of the bore was only 120 shots - TOTAL! :shock:

Still, extremely COOL! 8)

Yes, but they test fired it four times a year and sent the results of the tests to their adversaries.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

They never had to use it, due to "deterrence through superior firepower...."

That complex would have been incredibly expensive to build, got a lot easier to build than one battleship thought it would have saved getting destroyed.

Great concept. 8)
