I don’t know why this title made me think of it, but the muzzle velocity of a typical apfsds round is similar to the orbital velocity of the moon. With no atmosphere to inhibit travel you could shoot at adversaries from just about anywhere.
Life on the moon would be interesting. For a little while.

- jcims 2y agoVery true. Would be interesting figuring out the terminal ballistics of feathers at 1500m/s.
