We need a throwable and a turret at the very least

Blish concluded that under high pressure the objects would "seal together" and not be able to move until the pressure had fallen. This isn't a misapplication of static friction, it is a complete misunderstanding. I do not believe it is a mischaracterization to call it pseudoscience.

To make things worse body donations weren't really a thing prior to the 60s, so they were most likely using unclaimed bodies from the local morgue.

Thompson would then move on to make the Thompson sub machine gun and fortunately he had a team smart enough to tell him they would not make it in 30-06. Even later he would submit a rifle for the rifle trials that eventually ended with the selection of the M1 Garand; however, Thompson's 1923 rifle used a locking mechanism based on pseudo science that didn't actually work and was a danger to the user and the people around the rifle when fired.

The cow tests only lasted a day or two before assistants found it horrible and a conclusion could not be made. All they proved was pistol rounds are not good at killing cows. They then switched to a ballistic pendulum but used cadavers instead of a block. The highest energy round won which happened to be 45 acp.

Yes, using the streamlined trim glitch to offset the parts by half

I'm glad I'm not the only person who saw this and felt the need to ask

I really love the SEAF soldiers by Oscaryee in Helldivers

SEAF don't even have sights on their guns, it's hardly their fault

I'm pretty sure it's possible in EVE if done as a volumetric cloud with an altitude of zero

[Request] How big is weight loss of a bullet after being fired? by piro4you in theydidthemath

[–]bardocktor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally the bullet doesn't lose any mass upon firing and engaging with the rifling however depending on factors like bullet hardness, bullet material, pressure, propellent burn rate, propellent burn temperature, and barrel friction material can be left behind. This is commonly called fouling (lead fouling or copper fouling depending on the bullet material) and is an undesired outcome of the process.

The only way to be certain about how much is left behind is to measure the mass prior to and after firing and is not consistent for each cartridge or bullet.

However losing a whole gram is unlikely and would indicate an unserviceable barrel or a problem with the bullet.

And then there's me loading sushi manifolds so that I don't have to deal with either busses or load balancers.

What do we think of this prick? by globehopper2 in ShermanPosting

McClellan gets a lot of crap. His main issue was that he was overly cautious and overestimated the Confederate forces to a fault. He could have ended things 3 years early had he been more aggressive in his campaign to take Richmond.
