The Paris Gun could launch shells to a maximum altitude of 25 miles.
This was the greatest altitude reached by a man-made object until World
War II's German V-2 Rocket. *from History Channel*
The Germans built this gun, which was a cannon 110 foot long barrel, and
it shot a shell 75 miles, and it was used to pound Paris in World War
I.
