minus-squareDarkassassin07@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoI wonder what the maximum muzzle velocity for a child would be (without just killing it immediately).
minus-squarebryndos@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoAssume an asbestos sabot so it doesn’t get incinerated. It’s maybe more the acceleration/shock? Probably a few tens of G before instant death.
minus-squareOshaqHennessey@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoIt’s definitely a G-force thing. If I remember correctly from Mythbusters, the human limit is about 10 Gs before losing consciousness, 15 Gs before suffering internal organ damage, and about 20 Gs before instant death.
minus-squareDarkassassin07@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 hours agoHmm; so about 14Gs + a good long barrel and I should be able to launch a baby at least to Mach 2 or 3. Stopping might be a problem, but that’s one for whoevers gonna catch it.
