If a .30-06 projectile traveling at 3,000 fps maintains its speed in intergalactic space for a billion miles in essentially a straight line for 55+ years is that close enough to shooting “any distance with any gun”?

    Mark 30 is a meaningless number in space but if you actually multiply 30 by 670 mph you come up with a very slow speed for space travel for that projectile to reach the edge of the solar system would require something in the nature of about 10 years.

  • @goatkiller666
    @goatkiller666 7 месяцев назад +2

    What kind of shock wave do these things generate? Since they’re ground based, throwing heavy chunks of tungsten through our atmosphere and into space would make a bunch of sonic booms. Maybe more like meteors…check the videos about the small one that almost hit Russia, before it exploded in the air. That boom could be heard hundreds of miles away.

    • @faultier407
      @faultier407 6 месяцев назад

      Heard.... but felt? Also the Shockwave would travel more or less alongside the trajectory of the projectile. Moving away from earth. It would be LOUD, don´t get me wrong. But i would think more about air resistance and friction what would cause a Burning projectile reaching some immense heat. How hot does ozone need to get so it burns? I don´t know.

    The story is about ground based guns. That's correct. Everybody gets all excited about space based railguns including Halo's MAC's but they forget one thing. Newtons Third Law. Equal and opposite reaction. One shot and your gun platform goes flying away out of control. The nanosecond that projectile starts to move so does the gun throwing off the targeting so even that one shot is useless. Yeah, I know talk like that gets me thrown out of ComiCon. The walking buzzkill.

      Too bad the Earth's escape velocity is about mach 33. They're basically shooting slugs into orbit. I suppose that's good, since the slug will impact the earth again on the first orbit, if it misses its target, instead of becoming an eternity bullet.
