The Zamzama Gun, also known as Kim's Gun and Bhangian di Top, is an 18th-century large-bore cannon. It was cast by the metalsmith Shah Nazir of Lahore in about 1757, during the Durrani period. Currently on display in front of the Lahore Museum in Lahore, Pakistan, it is one of the largest pre-modern cannons in the world.
