So a “human” sized round would be, at best, 182.8 metres ( or roughly 6 feet) long.
The largest usable mortar “shell” is 240millimetres (or 9.4 inches).
Hell, even a your average battleship cannon fires 45 caliber (40centimetres/15.9 inches).
The amount of force necessary to fire a human-sized round would likely shatter the planet.
Further to that – the Mallet’s Mortar and the Little David (of UK and US origin respectively) only fired a 914mm caliber round, covered in a 3-foot shell. Supposedly, the Little David only had a theoretically effective range of six miles, and that was an artillery cannon that was never actually used in WW2.

You don’t need a gun big enough to shoot a person, Lucas. Just shoot Ethan with a regular-sized gun.
Oh wait!. That’s not practical, because that would mean you’d have to go to the trouble to find a replacement to help pay the rent.
Ethan doesn’t pay rent too often.
Everything needs hats.
There are a lot of guns that could fire human sized rounds. Most of which are mortars and battleship cannons.
