let me see if I can dig it up
it got like 1500 m/s, which while fast, is about the upper limit for such a round, since gunpowder just can't burn much faster
Any value in using such hyper-sonic loads for sniping?
Tanks use special powder to get up to 1800 m/s, but that's it. Beyond that hydrogen would be your best bet for making it up to super high velocities, be it in both light-gas guns and combustion hydrogen guns
ther riser for a longest shot record
lol
It is ridiculous
=
I like how it's aiming down lol
Almost 5km shot
that massive riser
Well it would be useful as an anti-material weapon, although it may lose it's velocity quickl if it's too high velocity, a lighter bullet tends to have a lower BC and a very fast moving bullet exponentially loses more of it's velocity, as aerodynamic resistance increases exponentially the faster you go. So twice as fast means over twice as much aerodynamic resistance, and so on
I was thinking more along the lines of a bullet with such velocity and weight that you don't need to account for drop and flight-time as much.
Problably squared, so over 4 times the air resistance if twice as fast
That's an interesting idea and it would work really well out to a certain range before it inevitably dropped off
here you go
Yesh
it is bonkers
Those are two different rounds, but both held a record
Eargesplitten acheived 4800FPS
That's feet per second
I think that's enough to do some damage
One of them uses a modified 12 guage shotgun shell, and another uses a 40mm in order to get up to 7 km/s xD
So who knew the fastest round fired was a 12 guage shotgun xD Basically it creates a shockwave through hydrogen to get the velocity
Wait until the light-gas gun is mounted on an M113 as an experimental weapon.
Basically they plan to stuff a core into the round that will detonate instead of deflagrating
Deflagration is just a fancy scientific name for "burns slower than detonation"
Spicy rifle
If this one will have a failure then the shooter won't be telling a story about it
I wonder what is the benefit of hyperspeed bullets?
Hunting Sonic?
