Homeland Security is arranging a grant for the Detroit PD to obtain two of these.
Ping.
200 feet of concrete? BS. Maybe 200 feet of a concrete structure with hardened concrete outer walls.
Why NOT, they’ve already got tanks!
I could see a combination of a 15 ton penetrator 600 mph “drilling” action, initial detonation shock and pressure putting destructive heat and pressure through cracks on the far side of 200 feet of concrete.
Pretty bad ass.
How long until McLame teams up with obastard to cancel this program as “unnecessary” ala the F22?
Even better would be a series of these...one after another...each is electronically locked on to the previous one...first couple will soften up the impact site ...
I remember the first time they used a MOAB in iraq, the british media was initially reporting “the crazy yanks actually did it, THEY NUKED IRAQ!”
I laughed about that for days.
To quote a line from the movie “Blue Thunder”: “...and that’s one helluva sh!tstorm in anyone’s language!”

i wonder what its terminal velocity is.
600mph sounds pretty fast, thats closing in on the speed of sound. can gravity accelerate an object faster than sound within a 60,000 foot drop? got any math wizards on board here? 32feet per second per second?
intersting website to calc terminal velocity. took a guess at some numbers and came up with 527mph from 60,000 feet

I assumed 600mph forward release velocity, and enough wind resistance to conservatively thwart any additional acceleration as it approaches the speed of sound.
Sorry for the triplicate post....something weird going on w/either my laptop or FR today.:/
Without any accelaration behind it, your terminal velocity is about 122 mph
Just in time for Christmas. Christmas in Iran, that is.
