The Tiger I tank, used by Germany during World War II, was equipped with an 88mm KwK 36 L/56 gun. The "L" designation refers to the length of the gun in calibers, meaning the barrel was 56 times the diameter of the shell, resulting in a barrel length of approximately 4.9 meters (16 feet). This long barrel contributed to the tank's effectiveness in long-range engagements.
