If you can't stand the roar of the big guns, stay off the main Deck!

The concussion alone is enough to kill.

Or, would your lungs turn to jelly? Or, would nothing bad happen? A 50 will take your arm off if you are within 6ft of a passing bullet. The big guns on the Iowa will rip your soul out.

The concussion alone is enough to kill. It is directed forward from the tube. You would be fine standing on the deck while all the guns were firing directly left/right. For an idea of how it works with smaller systems, look up AR 385-63. |

You wouldn't die, but your eardrums would without protection

I don't think there is ear pro effective enough to make me ever consider standing next to that. Can't help but think the concussion could do a job on your eyes too, but I could easily be wrong about that. |

During? Being on the receiving end (since OP didn't specify) I'd think you'd be safer on the deck than deep within the ship where the armor piercing shell would explode.
You're still gonna have a bad day. |

Just today I was watching a show on the Battle of Jutland.
It showed a film of a Brit ship firing it's main guns and it looked as if all the paint in that area of the ship (or perhaps the gun barrels) came loose in sheets. |

The big guns on the Iowa will rip your soul out. Not only would they rip your soul out, they would propel it into the body of another, creating some sort of dual-souled abomination that would make Jesus vomit and Satan ejaculate. |
