Type-94 naval gun

The Type-94 naval gun is a type of railgun with a caliber of 56 cm, often employed as the main armament of battleships in the Imperial Navy. The Type-94 is often found in triple or quadruple mounts, and fire solid shells as ammunition.

Most of the projectiles fired by the Type-94 are general-purpose solid tungsten slugs that use kinetic energy to destroy targets. The Type-94 is also able to fire a variety of specialised ammunition, such as heat-shielded space-to-ground shells, hull-penetrating nuclear shells designed to penetrate and destroy oxygen-filled warships from within, high-concussive Ga-Element bombs and the San Shiki shell, a mass-shrapnel round designed for use against light spacecraft, fighters and bombers.
