Technical information on early Korean cannon
Does anyone know of any good sources regarding the caliber and size of the late 16th-century Korean cannons known as Heaven, Earth, Yellow, and Black cannon? From information on the website of the Hyeonchungsa Shrine, I know the Black cannon was 950mm total length, 75mm caliber, but I've been unable to find any information at all on the length and caliber of the other cannon types or the weight of any of the cannon.

A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay

Actually, is there anyone here that can translate Korean? There's a picture at http: //ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%ED%8C%8C%EC%9D%BC:ChongtongStructure.jpg from the Jinju Museum that looks to have technical information, but I don't read Hangul.
