no kidding. They should call this think the “Atom Gun” because after the real rounds hit something, I think that’s about the biggest piece that will be left.
A nice option til the photon torpedo is available.
Some of the photos they had of the early 6 megajoule prototypes were heating the air behind it to a plasma. Take this image into consideration that there was no actual explosive used to launch this. (then think about how much more powerful this new one is)..
