Adolfo Pesado (literally Heavy Adolfo) was a Creeperian railway gun used during the Creeperian Civil War. It was ordered in 1942 by Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno and initially called the Fusil Creeperiano (literally Creeperian Gun). After his assassination, the gun was renamed to Adolfo Pesado to honor him, but also to honor Emperor Adolfo III. Construction began on the railway gun the same year, 1944, and was completed in 1946. It was used during the Siege of San Salvador but it was deemed to not be very practical or efficient, but was used nonetheless. Following the conclusion of the civil war, Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno and the Creeperian Armed Forces had the railway gun scrapped.
