Actually no. A supernova doesn't destroy an entire system outright. You might be able to have some of the outlying planets surviving.Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:No way man, the payload of the Galaxy gun was far less then the destructive effects of the Sun Crusher supernova effect... though of course the Sun Crusher "cheats" by using a star as it's weapon.
The shockwave will irradiate the surface definitely.
BUt in any case, a Galaxy Gun is more tactically useful than the Sun Crusher. -
2mm steel rounds can pierce what?Originally posted by Chuichi Koshiramaru:MEC Gauss MiniGun
The MEC Gauss is of Chinese design. It uses multiple electromagnetic fields to propel over 90,000 2mm steel rounds per minute to relativistic velocities.
Its range, accuracy and stopping power is almost unparalleled.
Unless for hitting humans
By the way a lot of other people are researching into gauss because of it's recoilless or there's no recoil at all

for me....i cant find the pic...but never mind.
a 1X metal gear rex,from the game metal gear solid 1, armed fully..see if malaysia will come and threaten us again by cutting off our water....
but i prefer the modified lightsaber for longer range combat. good for pawning the police fast before they can use their baton...hehe... -

There will still be recoil if you accelerate the projectile with a very short impulse, and it has to be settled in some way or another... basic physics. The railgun in Eraser would not be possible without some way of accounting for the physics of firing projectiles at near-light speed... Arnie would simply be knocked off his feet everytime he fired a round.Originally posted by maggot:2mm steel rounds can pierce what?

The appeal of gauss weapons is that they can accelerate projectiles beyond the limit of chemical propellants, not because they are "recoiless"... which they are not. -
For what purpose???Originally posted by wonderamazement:What will it be? Be it rifle, machine gun, pistol...
I've haven't decided yet...
If for war...
Hmm... ion cannon seems nice...
but charging time too long...
Defense...
too much C&C game play... -

You played FO:T too. Wonderful!Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:I always wondered how they account for the recoil generated by that thing... and how does the steel round survive the frictional heating from air by being accelerated to relativistic velocities without turning into plasma?
Oh well, fallout tatics was cool.
Don't how many donkey years must I wait for their sequel.

Fallout?Originally posted by LazerLordz:M72 Gauss Rifle. -
I love Fallout Tactics, its realistic and interactive. Pity there are no more sequels.

Last I checked, electric motors also work on the Lorentz principle but they are hardly torque-free, and they work on the same principle as railguns (that is using magnetic forces to move a mass), except on a much smaller scale and the mass being acted on moves round and round within the motor.Originally posted by maggot:They "shot" out the projectiles with electric currents...you should go see some live videos of how they are being fired and observed whether there's any recoil

There is no "recoil" because the weapon were firmly secured and the projectile being fired as light (less recoil). But trying firing it handheld and it will be a different story.
Basic physics... for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you want to act on a mass, no matter what method you will generate an equal reaction and have to account for it somehow. If you can some how move a mass without generating recoil, then there is something seriously wack with the laws of physics.

On the recoil of rainguns.
In other words, imagine a maglev train on a track of equal mass that is not secured. If the train accepts to move both of them will move and slide past each other. -
You must have stand on an escalator before right?Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Last I checked, electric motors also work on the Lorentz principle but they are hardly torque-free, and they work on the same principle as railguns (that is using magnetic forces to move a mass), except on a much smaller scale and the mass being acted on moves round and round within the motor.

Example: you are the projectile, the steps are the currents and the escalator is the barrel
The steps re-cycle when they move up then move down and so it's the same with electric currents
The recoil force moves in circular motion around the escalator so only the escalator feels the recoil but it does not move in any direction since the recoil force is circular
So if the recoil force is just within the barrel and did not spread to other areas how will the firer feel any recoil?

They have the problem of bring up the particle accelerator up into the space because it is way too heavy for any rockets to send it upOriginally posted by caleb_chiang:For what purpose???

Pray that they don't overcome this problem... -

Bleah.. there aren't any nwe Quasars around, unless you want to go back a billion years or so more back in time.Originally posted by Bontakun:You can own dat, you can virtually own anything. -
I thought the scientist are in the process building the world largest machine, the particle accelerator. I forget where le, but the discovery channel/national geographic channel got showcase it before.Originally posted by maggot:They have the problem of bring up the particle accelerator up into the space because it is way too heavy for any rockets to send it up

The project he spoke of just got thrown into limbo. No one knows whether there will be funding.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:I thought the scientist are in the process building the world largest machine, the particle accelerator.

But yes, there is the LHC that is being constructed in Geneva at the moment. It should be fully operational in a year's time, assuming nothing else stupid happens. -
You need a certain length size of the particle accelerator array in order to achieve the power for vaporizing targets...way too heavy unless they decided to assemble it bit by bit in spaceOriginally posted by Darkness_hacker99:I thought the scientist are in the process building the world largest machine, the particle accelerator.

You know the old TV tube? Inside got an electron gun which operates ONLY in vacuum same as in space but you need to add power to the beam with a particle accelerator
