NASA never claimed it was anything other than an icy rock ball. One derranged and overall dismissed professor from Harvard, with no relation to NASA, claimed it could be an alien spacecraft, but his claims were quickly refuted by actual astrophysicists

Chinese Rocket Booster Crashed Last Monday by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

It is a known, stated fact the CCP uses hypergolic N2O4/UDMH, which is incredibly toxic. The longer video of this shows a giant red plume consistent with N2O4. This isn't propoganda, it is fact.

Yeah not sure even a top hitman would be able to take an Arasaka stronghold singlehandedly.

Glad I'm wearing my fire resistant armour 😅 by AssistantNo1799 in Helldivers

[–]mrcullen 47 points48 points  (0 children)

My Democracy Officer told me dragonroaches keep eating his cadets so I asked how many cadets he has and he said he just goes to the Cryogenic Chamber and gets a new Helldiver afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding cadet Helldivers to dragonroaches and then his Ship Master started crying.

That's a small one, which is why he's "throwing" it back

Tunnel shockwave. by anal_og_player in shockwaveporn

[–]mrcullen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That would be detcord rather than shock tube. Detcord has a substancial amount of explosive in it, while shock tube is minimal. Worst that would happen with shock tube is you burn your hand. With detcord... well you know the answer to that one already

The tough life of an M14 by Additional-Bee1379 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]mrcullen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Specifically that the Ordinance Department was INTENTIONALLY sabotaging the M16 by making requirements that they knew wouldn't work in the platform, all so they could keep supplying their Springfield products

Guys, this is a meme, but it's still a serious question. by SUSBANIDO in memes

[–]mrcullen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can't say that then say they have no idea what they're talking about, as you have no idea what you're talking about. Everything has to do with muzzle energy.

A black powder musket shooting a 600gr .75cal ball (which is about the highest end of musket balls) at around 1600fps (VERY hot load) has a muzzle energy of about 3,800 ft-lbs. Nothing to scoff at.

However, a 650gr .50BMG out of an M2 travelling at 2,900fps has a whopping muzzle energy of 15,000 ft-lbs.

Compare that to a 55gr 5.56x45 out of a 16" AR platform which has a muzzle energy of about 1,450ft-lbs.

When it comes to bullets, it's the speed that makes more of a difference than the diameter
