The Dardanelles Gun, technically a XBAWKSHEUG Bronze Cannon. Designed by a Hungarian, first marketed to the East Roman Empire, eventually built and used by their mortal enemies, the Turks, to lay siege to the final 'impregnable' bastion of this empire, Constantinople.
It was last used in the early 1800s as coastal defense when the British tried to harass the Ottoman Empire. It successfully killed at least 28 soldiers in this final operation, despite having been forged over 300 years ago.
Was later gifted to the Queen Victoria for some reason, perhaps just to rub it in.
