Sometimes lobbing a shell the size of a Volkswagen Bug at Point du Hoc can make quit an impression.

Will anyone use it to protect the territorial integrity of the once great nation? No.

They’re busy revving up the powerful Mach 5!

And when the odds are against .... oh nevermind.

[Flatus I. Maximus]

At that kind of velocity from a rifled barrel, how do they keep the projectile from self-destructing in flight?

[Pontiac]

The HVPs from a traditional deck gun will be slower than one launched from a railgun — a little over Mach 5 versus Mach 7 — but still double the speed of an unguided regular shell from the service’s Mk 45 five-inch gun found on its guided missile cruisers and destroyers, according to information from NAVSEA.

The published muzzle velocity of the Mk 45 is 2650 fps or Mach 3.5

So how are they going to get the guided munition from Mach 3.5 to 5.0?

[Vendome]

Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these and take it to the range....
