How much Force....

Post by Mr Bean »

Would a Bullet Have if Fired in a Artillery Fasion?
I have no idea where this game from but I wondered
Supposing 100% Perfect Computers based on Quantum Taychon Fields! :P (Mmm Techobabble)

Anyway say if I take a M-16, Volly three shots off at a target X distance away, Assuming through Techobabble, Luck or Gnomes that they hit said target, How much force would they have?

Assuming if you fired at a 70% Angle at a target X miles away(The nessary minium for it to come down and hit a target level with you)

In vacuum, they would come down with their original muzzle velocity intact. However, in an atmosphere they would be slowed down by aerodynamic drag. There is no first-principles way to derive it accurately; you would need empirical figures on the drag coefficient and frontal area of a bullet, and you would also need to assume that it doesn't start tumbling.

I wish they had jobs testing the Ideal Blowing Shit Up law, especially if they offer dental coverage. :P

sadly the side effects of Oppenheimer's job is running the risk of having your balls glow green and fall off. :P
