| Apr 27, 2021 at 20:39 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @JamesMcLellan I believe that is the cost of dummy rounds. According to this: dacis.com/budget/budget_pdf/FY10/PROC/F/352010.pdf PGU-13 B rounds cost \$53/ea and the more modern PGU-15 rounds average at ~\$75/ea defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/85422/… | |

The cannon fires 2,100 rounds per minute, and each HE shot costs 26 bucks (according to answers.com). Total price for taking out all 200 towers using a 15 second squeeze of HE = 2.7 million. | |
