These things are traveling at 22,000 mph, not 2,000 mph.

—”.308 round, among many others, will do the same thing with a normal length barrel.”

And what kind of government grant will you get for that?

Also, guessing the projectile to be considerably smaller?

You’re off by an order of magnitude—it’s 22,000 mph, not 2,000 mph.

Yep, about .220 Swift type velocity.

Why the breathless sounding article?
