Please educate me on the subject. Were they practical? How many were made? Why do I have a massive erection when I look at them?

>Were they practical
Not really. Really predictable and really only served the purpose of shelling really heavy fortifications from a distance where counter artillery wasn't possible against an enemy not capable of bombing the gun.
>How many were made
Ones the size of your pic? Two iirc. Quite a few smaller ones were made in both World Wars.

>Were they practical?
Basically fuck no.
They were difficult to transport, easy targets for bombers, easy to sabotage (by destroying the rails they ran on), and generally were inefficient resource wise. The rise of aircraft such as bombers and low-altitude fighters made them virtually obsolete in all but a few instances.

Too much manpower needed to load, too easily attacked from air and too expensive, which is why only two were built...
