Note that this is actually how multi-stage rockets work.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoIn Russian, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky famously described the "tyranny of the Kalashnikov equation"
- __alexs 3y agoAre multi stage bullets a thing?
- AftHurrahWinch 3y agoI don't think so, but there were gryojets, which were half way there. They were bullet-sized rockets fired from a gun with an unrifled barrel that accelerated as they flew, exceeding Mach 1 at terminal velocity. Supposedly you could literally slap them out of the air if you were at the muzzle, when they had just begun accelerating. They were in the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet
