The Faule Mette (German for Lazy Mette alluding to the lack of mobility and slow rate of fire of such super-sized cannon) or Faule Metze was a medieval supergun of the city of Brunswick Germany. Cast by the gunfounder Henning Bussenschutte on the central market square Kohlmarkt in 1411 it was fitted with a conically tapered muzzle (calibre of 67–80 cm) which allowed the use of projectiles of varying size.
