The 30.5 cm RK L/22 as showpiece on the Vienna fair 30.5 cm RK L/22 in Vienna. While the German authorities were making plans, the Krupp steelworks pro-actively developed the 30.5 cm Ring Kanone L/22 to counter prospective advances in ship armor. [5] [6] Krupp initially made two of these guns. One of these guns was used for testing. [7]
Most of the historic changes concern distance (30m, 50m, 50 yards), caliber (.22 .22lr .44CF), type of pistol (revolver only, revolver or pistol, any pistol), time allowed (16 hours, 6 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes), and most recently, format of the finals (carry over scores, start from zero, number of shots fired in the finals).
In 1885, the lange 21 cm Ring Kanone was renamed to 21 cm Ring Kanone L/22, abbreviated 21 cm RK L/22. [18] Meanwhile, the Woolwich guns started to use "Pebble gunpowder". This increased the velocity of the Woolwich guns and relative to gun weight, they were again more powerful, even though this did not apply to the 21 cm RK L/22. [19]
The 28 cm RK L/22 was also used in the armored gun turrets on the mouth of the Weser. It is known to have been used in the gun turret of Langlütjen II, where it was mounted on the minimalscharte carriage. [30] In 1873, Turkey ordered 12 28 cm RK L/22 for its coastal defence. [31] [32] In 1874, Portugal ordered 6 28 cm RK L/22 for its coastal ...
The 15 cm Ring Kanone L/22 or Kurze 15 cm Ring Kanone was a 15 cm 22 caliber long Krupp Ring Kanone (RK). It was a rifled breech loader built-up gun with a Krupp cylindroprismatic sliding breech. It was designed based on the idea that for penetrating armor, it was more effective to increase the charge than to increase the caliber.
The first major changes to the 24 cm RK L/22 came with the 24 cm MRK L/25. This gun was first tested in December 1875 as a L/22 gun with a caliber of 240 mm instead of 235.4 mm. It also used a charge that was about 60% higher. [4] Other innovations of this gun were heavier projectiles and projectiles that used copper driving bands. In all ...

A 24 cm L/22 gun was exhibited by Krupp at the 1876 Centennial Exposition Philadelphia. It was also called a 24 cm gun and had the same absolute length as well as a relative length of L/22, but in fact this was a prototype gun that had a caliber of 240 mm and was configured for using an increased charge and projectiles with copper driving bands.
