No, pretty sure there was a Big Bertha, and there was a massive gun before the Gustav used against Paris. Probably the same gun.

Both guns were blown up to prevent capture after being retreated for maintenance, a third gun was not completed. 2/2

You can probably destroy the moon with a barrage of artillery from that fun.
