So NZ has a pretty pathetic military history. Exhibit: Wrights Hill Fortress - completed after the war and never put to use. A set of tunnels in the Karori hills which housed three (only two were ever actually put there) guns for coastal security.
This housed the number one gun (notice how huge it is), the actual barrel of the gun came out on ground level.
These are the degree markings they used to position the gun, it was able to shoot all points of the compass.
