....You guys trying out how to stop micro meteorites left over from some super nova?
Cannon with a HEAT projectile
I've seen stuff...results like thatBut not from a rifleCannon with a HEAT projectileAm I right?Edit: But what would a rocket company guy be doing with a cannon???Not a star wars particle beam weapon...Read sifi and saw the results from those..nice neat hole, not blast cone from absorption of an enormous force.So a projectile...Going really fast...maybe faster than normal propellants can drive...Not plastic, unless fired in a vacuum...possibly aluminum...going really fast.Man I am stuck on this really fast kinetic energy thingSo what's the joke? You guys trying out how to stop micro meteorites left over from some super nova? Know anyone over at DARPA? They might know...
It is. There are actually 4 projectiles flying down range when they touch off a sabot. Those three petals have to go somewhere. Always a concern when we were in the breach.
I've been following quietly as I often do. Taking it all in so to speak. So if I have this straight. You made a gun to simulate MMOD on earth with the purpose of developing a shield to put on spacecraft? If this were to be fired on earth not in a vaccum what would happen? Flying 7kps the plastic slug would melt no?
Very cool. I would wager the last was concrete. no full penetration but significant spalling towards the rear.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
23000 ft per second...holy moly, that's faster than my Duramax downhill with smoking brakes and a camper behind it
