From my personal project of Myr:
The Fire Obsidiant, a specialized type of obsidiant with the role of field artillery.
For the lore ->https://sites.google.com/view/myr-worldbuilding/myr/alchimie-organique/obsidiants

Also, here's a comparison with the first version of the idea made a year ago, which was put aside since I was unsatisfied with it. During that period I had also reworked the texture itself of the general obsidiants.

With the Armistice in negotiation, the conditions of the agreement demanded the entire German U-Boat fleet be surrendered and confiscated near the Orkney Islands. German admiral Ludwig von Reuter, who refused to let his ships become the spoils of war, ordered his crews to open seacocks, torpedo tubes and portholes on the ships to flood them, hoist their flags of the Imperial German Navy, and sink them off the coast of Scotland. It was the single greatest loss of warships in history, and the nine German sailors killed that day were the last to die during World War One. The final peace treaty was signed just a week later.

As you know, the life of the 12-inch gun s only 250 rounds and that of the 9.2-inch 500. The 12-inch gun, by the way, weighs over 60 tons, so it is not a thing that you can put under your arm and take it about when it wants relining. It also has a drift of about a mile. Noel Birch - 7/12/17
Birch was at this point the chief artillery adviser to Haig at GHQ in France, more or less the chief artilleryman of the British Armies.

One of the 12-inch guns in question.
Tumblr media
A 9.2-inch gun.
That's a lot of effort for a gun that might miss by a literal mile.
