oh shit they're actually not far off 1% the speed of light wtfffffffffff
What the frick are you two talking about? 1% speed of light is almost 3 million m/s. There's no rail gun that goes that fast, they're more like 2500. Do you people just not understand large numbers?
Only thing I could think of is a Casaba howitzer, which is more akin to an EFP.
AFAIK, Combustible light gas guns hold the record for theoretical projectile speed at 7-8 km/s. Not even close.
yeah
Currently? No.

You stupid? Rounds already go hypersonic

b***h homie railguns reach these speeds
oh shit they're actually not far off 1% the speed of light wtfffffffffff
How much do you think the 1% is?
you're asking /k/ about big numbers....
There's a reason /k/ gets so salty about Spacebattles.
show me a railgun that can do 3000km/s
morons. they're doing 3000 METERS per second, not KILOMETERS
and WE'RE talking about 6.7 million miles per hour, please keep up with the discourse, anon.
psure something going that fast would explode on contact with the atmosphere and kill you
~3000km/s
Not in atmosphere, no.
>not in atmosphere, no.
why? and give me a good explanation not some pseudoscience like "le air resistance"
lmao good one anon
i'm serious
air resistance isn't a problem if you have a good enough ballistic coefficient
>pseudoscience like "le air resistance"
I forgot how effortlessly funny this board can be.
lol
lmao, really committing to the bit are we?

Here you go.
Heck of a shotgun
I CONCEDE MY ARGUMENT
I CONFUSED METERS WITH KILOMETERS
I AM STUPID
Cheers mate. First step to being less stupid is to admit it.
>admits stupidity
Congratulations you're more intelligent than 99% of people on this board. This should scare the frick out of you.
Good for you.
You have admitted your mistake and grown as a man.
Do that math again. Do it right. Apologize to the man you insulted.
Stop replying to bait bug lady
Lmao no argument, just cope. Face it, I've beaten u. Now u apologize to me for not being able 2 do simple division.
Ok frick it, I'll bite and be the fricking Kindergarten teacher here.
c = 300000kmh
Divide by 100
=3000
Divide by 100
=30

Probably. Just gotta remember newton's third law so that going to be a frick ton of energy needed to propel an object at such speeds.
