In looking at that site, I could imagine the barrel of the 3 inch 50 calibre gun being 12 feet long. I just imagined it to be more 6-8 feet long. But in those pictures it seems a lot longer (assuming that the gun crew was not midgets)
hmmm midget gunners sleep two to a bunk and eat half the food... this might just work :rotfl:
