The Paris Gun (German: Paris-Geschütz) was a German long-range siege gun used to bombard Paris during World War I. It was in service from March to August 1918. When it was first employed Parisians believed they had been bombed by a high-altitude Zeppelin as neither the sound of an airplane nor a gun could be heard. It was the largest piece of artillery used during the war by barrel length if not caliber and is considered to be a supergun.
