yeah 40mm inserts
Look at that thing
Mach 7
The problem is a 40mm round would fit in a 37mm barrel, so there's a good chance it wouldn't fit it
those are 40mm
It takes a special barrel to shoot the .17 Incinerator. Kent Wilson of Ammo-One, who helped develop this extreme wildcat, explains: “The speeds are so great we had to use a custom 3-groove, polygonal-rifling 1:20″-twist barrel to keep the bullets from disintegrating on launch. The polygonal land/groove geometry reduces bullet engraving, which also helps keep the bullets in one piece. Also we must use solids — regular jacketed bullets can’t handle these speeds”.
37 is generally for use of non leathal rounds
*Because of the ultra-high velocity generated by the .17 Incinerator, solid bullets must be used. Conventional jacketed projectiles would disintegrate before they reached the target.
wow
The incinerator, while very well developed, is very likely a hoax, and I think it was confirmed to be so by the user, much to my chagrin
so it's a meme?
it was made on april 1st
Which is of course, the day one makes such jokes
I almost fell for it myself, it's too well designed and it's on an official gun ballistics website lol
And nowhere on it do they say it's a joke
But I'm pretty sure it's a joke
Not titanium but a tungsten alloy for that
Also they used a solid copper bullet too
But you can combine titanium with depleted uranium to make an alloy stronger than tungsten xD Also brass would be a little bit stronger than copper
@everybodydothatdinosaur there is an actual huge bottleneck cartrige out there that was made for a bullet speed record, even if that one was fake.
Ian covered that in one of Q&As
Yes there was, and it looks just like that one lol
Hence why I almost fell for it
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
