    The F22 in the image is about 7 diagonal pixels long, that is √2⋅7 pixels length. The ship in the picture is 1727 pixels long, which equates to an actual length of almost exactly 3300m.

    As a bonus this allows us to calculate the barrel-diameter: At 14 pixels width, this indicates a 27m diameter or a barrel-strength of a bit over 12m. Not sure if that is enough to contain the nuclear explosion that is mean to be fired inside it…

      The image is clearly a red herring to distract from the real use of the uranium. They use nuclear pumped lasers to accelerate a conventionally fired tungsten rod in the air. That’s why there are four barrels, two guns and two lasers
