Best Answer

competition with artilary is restricted to specific locations. Due to the nature of trajectory and "windage" combined with the charges required to propell a projectile it is difficult to determine the exact location for impact. The size and weight of this unit would make it prohibitive to consider and the remaining units are on display in military museums and have not been fired since their capture or before, since it was also difficult to transport and set up even for the original intent. ssgmohn
