SCP 044 is a SAFE Class anomaly also known as World War II Era MolecularFission Cannon.

SCP044 is a howitzer, secretly manufactured in the late stages of the Second World War by Krupp engineers, personally supervised by Albert Speer, German Minister of Armaments and War Production under Adolf Hitler. SCP 044 is unique not only because of its size (251,000 kg, or 251 metric tonnes), but also because it fires unconventional artillery using an atypical delivery method. Rather than having a breech for loading shells, the rear of the barrel is configured into a massive aircompression chamber. Any object or pile of objects that fits may be loaded into SCP044’s muzzle to be used as ammunition. Because of its size, SCP044 must remain railmounted and requires two freight locomotives to move.

Researchers believe that SCP044 weakens molecular and atomic bonds in any material loaded into its muzzle. However, the method by which SCP044 affects molecular bonds is not known, due primarily to the numerous complex mechanisms that compose the housing and workings of SCP044. In fact, some mechanisms appear useless and seem to do nothing other than spin or make noise, even when SCP044 is not supplied with power. Both equipment and personnel have been lost while exploring the inside of SCP044’s barrel.

When SCP044 is fired, all matter within its barrel is ejected at a high rate of speed as a glowing red slug, proportional in size to the amount of mass loaded into the muzzle. Upon striking a solid object or the ground, the slug explodes with a yield proportional to the mass of the original ammunition
