January 20, 20215 yr I'm surprised that the kinetic projectile still makes contact with the barrel it is being fired from. I wonder why they cannot utilise some magnetic force to keep the projectile away from the barrel - as per maglev trains...? What always amazes me is the fact that we have developed high speed cameras and gimbal drives to track such fast moving objects (including a camera which captures a beam of light as it travels from its source).
