@nta It’s fascinating but you do find yourself asking “why”?
that's totally not the question internet people ask. It's just 'can we do it?'
Yes. Agreed. T’was my point.

Additionally: I don't have access to a Vulcan 20mm
When you look at that, and look at weapons like that used in movies, you understand how sanitised it is. One round of 20mm would tear a body apart.
Apparently .50 calibre rounds don't even need to hit to do damage - just passing nearby causes serious trauma

Last bit is rubbish, it's only 12.7 in diameter, no way the shock wave would do much. But yeah, even good old 7.62 chews through brick. Depending on the round people generally have rather large exit holes, pretty grim

I consider myself educated - found a clip of a guy using one to shoot through a house of cards, and zero movement.

i cant decide what is the most amazing part of this
a) how the gel reacts and still comes back argely to right angles
b) the camera manages to capture it so well
c) someone can get their hands on a gun like that -
@mariner4life check it

Had a incident in our street in Lower Hutt when I was growing up involving a bloke with mental issues, a bottle of whisky and a 303 rifle.
He started firing into the interior walls of his brick house and by the time the Armed Offenders Squad had sorted the situation out, they found a couple of rounds in the woodwork of a neighbouring house. Scary really.

O for Olsen
God bless him. Any man that can go the full 12 with one of the very best heavyweights of all time is all right with me.
Whatever Tua is doing with his life you hope he’s happy.

So my dad had a 303.

I think this is an awesome initiative.

@taniwharugby Is that out at Portland?

@no-quarter that pass from Kronfeld to Lomu against Ireland was a thing of beauty.
I'll die in a ditch, but the balance was what set Lomu apart. Big fast guys exist, but his abiliyt to stay on his feet was just remarkable
