    Quantity

    Amounts vary but Wikipedia says: At the time, only 100 guns were completed out of the 250 in the workshop. Twenty of them were taken by the Allies at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal on Honshu after the end of the war.
    Most guesses that I have seen in the past say 50 made and parts for 50 more that were not completed. That sounds more reasonable based on what has been seen.
    Real men measure once and cut.
