    I would have guessed she was an Indonesian side dish, never heard of her before this.

    I stand corrected, turns out she's also a dancer, actress, and singer. Atta girl, then. Major respect to her.

    TMW, while checking out your youngest sister and her husband's new house on Zillow. you see that just the woodwork in the wine cellar must have cost more than everything you've ever owned.

    That moment when the world makes it painfully obvious that even though you never spend your money on anything, everyone else is always wealthier.

    Wow! I have to say though, I'm a little concerned when people drink enough wine to warrant having a whole cellar for it in their home. Fancy-schmancy though it may be, that's still a lot of booze and a lot of focus on booze. Or maybe they just entertain a lot or have everything else in the world in their house so figure why not that too. (speaking of home wine cellars in general)

    If it helps, I was once told (when young and miserably poor) "If you don't like your position in life, wait three years." For me, that's turned out to be very true more than once.

    TMW you finish making something, and even though you're not truly happy with it you simply can't be arsed to redo it.

    Absolutely. I quite like the original song, but the goat scream one is infinitely better.

    Hey! Where's the one where the car is about to hit the moose, and you get a shot of each animal in the forest screaming as he slams on the brakes?

    TMW you are wondering if adding a rocket propelled bullet, that is fired
    like a normal round and started the secondary propellant as it traveled down
    the barrel adding a little extra oomph to a heavy armor piercing round.
    Mind you I realize that it would be stabilized by the rifling, but is there a
    clean burning propellant that would not clog the barrel with burnt particulate
    causing it to need to be cleaned out the more you used it.

    This thought occurred to me after watching a vid about the RP guns that were
    made back in the 60's, though I would figure in my theoretical design would
    only have to rely on a center nozzle, as opposed to the manufactured 4-hole
    angled for spin design.

    Suppose this has got my Sci-fi nerd thinking it would be the middle stage before man-portable railguns
    are less expensive to mass manufacture in a not too distant future setting.

    The problem with the gyrojet is that unlike a normal pistol, where all of the acceleration is over and done with the moment it leaves the barrel, those little rockets aren't up to speed for quite a ways. At point blank range, they wouldn't even pierce skin. I found this pretty interesting quote:

    “[It’s] Gyrojet all over again. If the target is close enough to hit, you can’t kill it. If you can kill it, you can’t hit it.”

    in an article about the weapon.

    TMW you discover that your handout is full of typos :( (of course without the possibility to print it again).

    I would say if you have all the balistics and calcs to put a round on target currently, there's no need for a faster speed, but a higher impact.
    An anti-tank armor round explodes on contact, but drives the inner projectile through the armor with a shape-charge that turns the copper forward-cup to plasma, while the 'dart' penetrates with so much energy that it would suck all the organics inside the armor out through the exit hole. A miniature of this with some 'x-tech' would make for a dramatic kill :D Also, back-in-the-day, there was a round that penetrated tank armor and the armor itself became part of the kill by bouncing the round all over inside the tank! Yuck! :blech:
    Err... OP a second cleanup-round could use 'x-tech' to make the barrel perfectly clear. It would make for a cool cyclic double report, sound-wise. :D

    Yes I understand that they were a novel piece of junk as a 'weapon',
    due to them not achieving a high enough velocity. It was also
    highly inaccurate. Think they averaged around 150 Ft/s, and were
    inconsistent between shots.


    What I was proposing was using gas powered bullet in a casing, fired
    at the higher velocity, and while in transit it utilized a rocket propellant
    to boost the overall velocity. Thus making it a much more powerful
    impact on the target that is armored.

    I was thinking a bit smaller scale to combat a futuristic armored unit.
    Yeah anti-tank tank rounds are fun, they could use a heavy hard solid
    ballistic to punch holes in each other. If I remember correctly good old
    depleted rounds are quite unpleasant to the recipients. :p
    I was thinking that a smaller projectile moving a higher velocity than
    normal, would pierce through a tougher body armor. Basically the concept
    of more speed on impact with the futuristic armor plating, would have the
    kinetic energy to punch through and into the person underneath.
    Though anything in the 105mm range and larger caliber will have no problem
    doing the same job, but not very practical and would get messy. :p
    Pretty sure if such a fictional body armor could manage to take a tank round
    and survive (and off chance the wearer) would probably not be ideal either. :blech:
