True .

It is called a Kiln gun and is used to break up the scale that forms inside a high temperature kiln.

Well, there's something I didn't know.

CaptainGyro,

There used to be a FOUR gauge kiln gun in TX, at Specialty Tubing. = I don't know what ever happened to it after Lone Star Steel Company closed forever.
(It probably got recycled into something else at the foundry.)

Y'know, if you leaked this to a Hollywood screenwriter, you just know it would end up in the next big budget action movie.

The hulls from those shells are sought after by owners of 8 bore shotguns for use to make their reloads.
