Answer 1

As far as an individual weapon goes (vs. a crew served one), it would be the South African Denel NTW-20x110 and Croatian RT-20, both of which fire a 20x110mm cannon cartridge of the sort originally designed for the Hispano-Suiza antiaircraft cannons.

A contender for First Place in the power contest may be the Maadi Griffin, although there is contention about how many were made. This is a bolt action pistol in caliber .50 Browning Machine Gun. Who would want to shoot it, or the Zeliska, is a subject for philosophers.

Answer 4

The Japanese Yamato class battleships had 16.1 inch (400 millimetre) guns - the largest ever mounted on a naval vessel. Those would be likely candidates.

Yes though the Japanese gun was bigger but the American 14 inch naval gun could with stand higher powder loads safely in turn increasing range and penetration of the hull of the enemy ship. Smaller but more powerful the 14 inch was many historians would say.

Speaking of powerful guns around that period the most powerful gun was made by the germans. It was called Gustav and it was an 800mm or 31.46inch rail gun which took up two standard sized railroad tracks (for it was 23ft wide) and fired a 4.8t high explosive projectile at 2690ft per/sec which could level entire city blocks. And a 7.1t armor-capped projectile at 2362ft per/sec. And could fire at ranges up to 30 miles. It weighs a massive 1350 TONS!!! and stands a whomping 140ft tall and as i said earlier 23ft wide. Despite its immense power it was extremely impractical because it took a crew of nearly 5000 people to keep it firing (including protecting it) not to mention the time it took to line it up using a circular railroad track and was limited to this track it sat on.
