Yes, i was quite sure you would be the one to point it out.
Well, big fuck-off
hybrid, Norway... it wasn't exactly a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes
Fantastic shooting area you have there!
It is awesome to see users from 2008 still active!
There aren't many of the original "cadre" left as regulars but you'll be amazed how many familiar faces still check in from time to time.
You could probably also give me some insight on the benefits of pulling a vacuum in the barrel, as you seem to have tested everything..
I know of those ping pong vacuum cannons reaching 860m/s, but would I see a real benefit with a heavier projectile? It sure would be nice to break 1km/s with a golf ball, if at all possible.
I never did it myself however I can tell you that it is probably not necessary with a high mix
hybrid.
Hypervelocity guns evacuate the barrel in order to eliminate air drag while the projectile is accelerating but these are usually shooting in the range of 3 to 6 km/s.
1 km/s is basically WW2 Panther Tank main gun velocity, my guess is it would be overkill to use vacuum.
