asbo Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Cat has been MIA for a while. Abort!!!!! Haha... Looks awful unstable in that first video, but I guess at 5600 MPH it's more about brute force. Quote Link to comment

Ballistic weapons don't work too well in submarines Looks awful unstable in that first video, but I guess at 5600 MPH it's more about brute force. Must be using LabVIEW 2010 Quote Link to comment
mje Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Maybe that instability is after the slug went through the concrete wall? Quote Link to comment

Maybe that instability is after the slug went through the concrete wall? Yeah, that could be. I went back to re-watch (~0:34-0:38) and I don't see the target, and the slug just goes into a hillside? That makes much more sense. On the prior shot, where you actually see the muzzle, it looks much more stable. Quote Link to comment
